A column monument built in 1910 during the presidency of Porfirio Diaz by architect Antonio Rivas Mercado topped by a bronze depiction of the Greek goddess, Victory, in Mexico City. Originally built to commemorate Mexico's war with Spain for Independence, this structure has evolved into a mausoleum for war heroes.
When we visited Mexico City, we were lucky enough to stay less than a block away from this treasure, so we'd walk by it early/late daily. The last time I visited CDMX, it was blocked off due to some renovations, so it was pretty cool to see it lit up or sit by its steps.
