Monumento a la Victoria del Dos de Mayo, Lima, Battle memorial monument in Plaza Dos de Mayo, Lima, Peru
The stone and bronze monument features a central column topped by a winged victory statue holding a sword and palm leaf in its hands.
The monument, inaugurated on July 29, 1874, commemorates the Battle of Dos de Mayo when Peruvian forces defended Lima against Spanish invasion in 1866.
The memorial represents the alliance between Peru, Chile, Ecuador, and Bolivia, highlighting the importance of South American unity against external threats.
The monument stands in a public square that underwent renovations to restore its 1920s appearance, making it more accessible for visitors.
Despite surviving a major earthquake in 1940, the winged victory statue had to be reconstructed after being destroyed during the Chilean occupation of Lima.
