India de El Paraíso, Memorial column in El Paraíso district, Venezuela.

The bronze monument features three female figures representing Venezuela, Colombia, and Ecuador, topped by metal palm leaves and a native woman holding a torch.

President Cipriano Castro commissioned the monument in 1904 to commemorate the Battle of Carabobo, with sculptor Eloy Palacios completing the work in 1911.

The monument design draws from Tamanaco indigenous legends, which tell of princesses emerging from palm tree buds, symbolizing Venezuela's independence birth.

The memorial stands at the intersection of Avenidas José Antonio Páez, O'Higgins, Teherán, and Principal de La Vega, marking the boundary between El Paraíso and La Vega parishes.

Four condor sculptures and relief panels depicting Battle of Carabobo scenes adorn the base, constructed with gray and green granite alongside natural rocks.
