Homeland monument is an encapsulation of everything to love about Mexico - the history of the country is represented in more than 200 historic figures carved around the sides of the monument.
The monument is located in the middle of Paseo de Montejo, one of the busiest roundabouts in Merida, Yucatan. The boulevard Paseo de Montejo was inspired by the design of the famous Champs Elysees in Paris.
In the close-up of this huge construction you will find many details of Yucatan. The story of Mexico is displayed all around the sculpture. Near the center of the monument you will find the symbol of Mexico, the eagle devouring a snake.
The iconic masterpiece by Romulo Rozo depicts the rich history of Mexico and it is also a tribute to the patriotism.
NOTE:
Sunday is the best day to visit this monument as that is when the boulevard is closed to traffic and locals ride bikes and stroll along the avenue.
Stay awesome and Steem on!
