El Vigilante, Bronze sculpture in Ecatepec de Morelos, Mexico.
The 31-meter tall bronze sculpture features a crouched angel figure with a bird mask, positioned between two major highways in Estado de Mexico.
President Enrique Peña Nieto inaugurated El Vigilante on March 18, 2016, during the unveiling ceremony of the adjacent vehicular bridge in Ecatepec.
The sculpture incorporates elements of Ehecatl, the Aztec wind deity, through its bird mask design and positioning at a significant traffic intersection.
Visitors can observe the 25-ton bronze monument from Federal Highway 85D, connecting the municipalities of Ecatepec de Morelos and Tlalnepantla de Baz.
The base of El Vigilante includes an observation deck that rises 6 meters from the ground, with the angel figure extending an additional 25 meters.
