The Monument to Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla stands in one of Tijuana’s most emblematic roundabouts, located at the intersection of Paseo de los Héroes and Bulevar Independencia in Zona Río. This sculpture honors the insurgent leader and is considered a symbol of Mexico’s fight for independence. Hidalgo is depicted holding a sword, standing on a pedestal that stands out in the city’s urban landscape. The surrounding area is well-maintained, offering a suitable space for reflection and recognition of national history. This monument is not only a landmark for residents and visitors but also a place where patriotic events are commemorated, especially during the September 15 celebrations.
