Monument to Sebastián de Belalcázar, Bronze monument in Arboleda district, Cali, Colombia.

The bronze statue depicts Sebastián de Belalcázar standing with his right hand pointing west and his left hand holding the Tizona sword.

The monument was inaugurated on July 25, 1937, created by Spanish sculptor Victorio Macho to commemorate the fourth centenary of Cali's foundation.

The statue represents different perspectives of Colombian history, generating discussions between indigenous communities and urban populations about historical representation.

The monument serves as an observation point, offering views of Cali from its location on a hill in the western part of the city.

The statue returned to its pedestal in November 2022 after restoration work following its removal during the 2021 national protests.
