Monument van Tacambaro, War memorial and sculpture in Oudenaarde, Belgium.
The Monument van Tacambaro features a reclining female figure created by sculptor Guillaume Geefs, positioned on a stone base at Tacambaroplein square.
The memorial commemorates Belgian volunteers who died during the Battle of Tacámbaro in Mexico in 1865, including Major Tydgadt and Captain Ernest Chazal.
The sculpture represents a mourning woman leaning on a globe while placing a crown on a grave, symbolizing the connection between Belgium and Mexico.
Visitors can find the monument at the intersection of several pedestrian paths in central Oudenaarde, near other war memorials from different periods.
The memorial stands as one of two monuments in Belgium dedicated to the Battle of Tacámbaro, with its counterpart located in Leopoldsburg.
