Monumento a India Catalina, Bronze monument in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia.
The monument stands 2.95 meters tall and depicts a female figure representing India Catalina, created by Spanish sculptor Eladio Gil Zambrana in bronze.
The statue was commissioned in 1974 to honor India Catalina, an indigenous woman who served as interpreter between Spanish conquistadors and native communities.
The monument has evolved into the symbol of the Cartagena Film Festival, with a miniature version serving as the award trophy for winners.
Located at the intersection of Pedro de Heredia Avenue and Venezuela Avenue, the monument marks a central meeting point in Cartagena.
The model for the statue was Judith Arrieta, a 15-year-old girl from San Juan Nepomuceno, whose upper body features were incorporated into the design.
