Chimalli Warrior, Colossal statue in Chimalhuacán, Mexico.
The red steel sculpture rises 60 meters into the sky, depicting a warrior holding a traditional shield and mace along Bordo de Xochiaca Avenue.
The statue was inaugurated in December 2014 to commemorate the Tenochcas who defended their territory during the Fall of Tenochtitlan.
The monument reflects the indigenous heritage of Chimalhuacán, with its name derived from the Nahuatl word for shield bearers, representing local identity.
Visitors can access an observation deck through a 250-step staircase or elevator, offering views from 40 meters above ground level.
The structure weighs 600 tons and required 68 foundation piles buried 25 meters deep to ensure stability in the Mexican soil.
