Monumento a Los Héroes, National monument at Autopista Norte intersection, Bogotá, Colombia
The rectangular stone-clad tower rises six stories high, featuring an equestrian statue of Simón Bolívar on its northern facade.
The monument, inaugurated in 1963 by President Guillermo León Valencia, commemorates soldiers who fought for the independence of Bolivarian nations.
The structure housed a museum dedicated to Colombian military history and displayed excerpts from Simon Bolívar's political testament.
The monument's location connects directly to the Héroes TransMilenio station through an adjacent pedestrian walkway.
The monument was dismantled in 2021 to make way for Bogotá's metro construction, with plans to relocate the equestrian statue.
