Monumento a la RazaRodrigo Arenas Betancur

This towering bronze and concrete Monument to the Race (1988) rises 38 m between the stark facades of Medellín’s government buildings. It shows intertwined human figures and dynamic forms that narrate conquest, birth, religion, and death in Antioquia’s history. As both civic monument and the artist’s burial site, it anchors the plaza as a place of collective memory.
