Escalinatas de los héroes, Monument with 250 steps in Tlaxcala, Mexico

The monument features a grand staircase decorated with numerous statues of historical figures and offers panoramic views of the surrounding city.

Built in 1960 as the Independence Staircase, this monument underwent renovations to include statues of Mexican Revolution figures, leading to its current name.

The monument displays statues of notable Mexican leaders including Miguel Hidalgo, José María Morelos, Ignacio Allende, and a large sculpture of Xicohténcatl.

Located between Mariano Sánchez Boulevard and Vicente Guerrero Avenue, the monument serves as a central gathering point for civic events and celebrations.

The railings hold approximately 670 padlocks placed by couples following a tradition inspired by the Pont des Arts bridge in Paris.
