Monument to Cuauhtémoc, Bronze statue at Paseo de la Reforma intersection, Mexico City, Mexico
The monument features a central statue of Cuauhtémoc wearing ceremonial attire atop an octagonal base with three pyramidal sections and decorative jaguar sculptures.
The monument, inaugurated in 1887 by President Porfirio Díaz, commemorates the last Mexica ruler of Tenochtitlan and his resistance against Spanish colonization.
Four marble inscriptions on the base honor the military chiefs who defended Tenochtitlan: Cuitláhuac, Cacama, Tetlepanquetzal, and Coanacoch.
Located at the intersection of Insurgentes and Reforma avenues, the monument stands 100 meters northeast of its original placement from 1887.
The pedestal displays reliefs depicting significant events, including the encounter between Cuauhtémoc and Hernán Cortés during the fall of Tenochtitlan.
