Águila Bicentenario, Steel monument in Ciudad Victoria, Mexico.

The metal eagle sculpture rises 40 meters high with wings spanning 23 meters at the Explanada Parque Bicentenario in Ciudad Victoria.

The monument, unveiled on September 13, 2010, marks both the bicentennial of Mexican independence and centennial of the Mexican Revolution.

The geometric design draws inspiration from the Mexican coat of arms, depicting an eagle consuming a serpent, a central symbol of national identity.

The sculpture weighs 200 tons and stands at coordinates 23°45′01″N 99°05′55″W, making it visible from multiple points in Ciudad Victoria.

Local residents refer to the structure as 'El paraguas mal armado' due to its angular geometric construction and unconventional appearance.
