Obelisco de Barquisimeto, Monument tower in Barquisimeto, Venezuela.

The Obelisco de Barquisimeto is a concrete and steel tower with a rectangular base located in Barquisimeto, Venezuela. An interior elevator carries visitors to an observation platform where they can look out across the western sections of the city.

The Obelisco de Barquisimeto was inaugurated on 14 September 1952 for the city's 400th anniversary, under a decree by the government of General Marcos Pérez Jiménez. It was designed by the Mexican-Venezuelan architect Gustavo Gutiérrez-Otero y Rodríguez and built by Alfredo Rodríguez Delfino's company Técnica Constructora for the Ministry of Public Works.

The obelisk was designed by the Mexican-Venezuelan architect Gustavo Gutiérrez-Otero y Rodríguez and built by Alfredo Rodríguez Delfino's company Técnica Constructora under the Ministry of Public Works. Its name comes from its obelisk form, though it is a rectangular concrete tower rather than a tapering stone needle. The clock on the main face makes it a meeting and orientation point in western Barquisimeto.

The tower stands west of the city centre, on a rectangular base measuring 10.3 by 2.8 metres. An interior elevator rises to a lookout room at the top; the large clock is on the main face. The structure is 75 metres tall, so the lookout is not reached on foot.

A large clock adorns the main face of the structure and is clearly visible from street level. This practical addition makes the monument serve as an orientation point for people moving through the city.
