This historic monument in Chapultepec Park commemorates the six cadets of the Military Academy who defended Mexico during the American invasion of 1847. Built of Carrara marble and inaugurated in 1952, it is notable for its six monumental semicircular columns adorned with sculptures representing the defense of national sovereignty. Strategically located at the entrance to the First Section, along Avenida Juventud Heroica, its neoclassical architecture and historical significance make it an essential stop for connecting with Mexican military history while exploring the park's paths.
