Bronze Horsemen at the Monument to the RaceRodrigo Arenas Betancur

A soaring bronze group crowns the 1988 monument, with riders and rearing horses compressed into a single surge of motion. The intertwined bodies read as struggle and ascent, evoking Antioquia’s identity as a mix of Indigenous roots and colonial history. The sculptor’s ashes are said to rest at the base of the 38 m tribute.
