Monument to the RaceRodrigo Arenas Betancur

Rising about 38 m (1988), this bronze-and-concrete monument expresses a sweeping narrative of Antioquian identity, from birth and agriculture to faith, solidarity, and death. Its turbulent, interlocking forms link Indigenous roots with the region’s colonial legacy, turning history into a physical sense of struggle and resilience. The sculptor’s ashes rest at its base in Government Square.
