The pillar of remembrance, set up to honor the heroes of the independence so long ago. It remains a beautiful symbol and worth seeing if you are in the area. Pay some respect to those who risked everything for Mexico.

This monument, which sits above the city atop a large hill, is dedicated to Pipila, an Indian miner who was killed after taking up arms against the Mexican government in an Indian revolt.

Don't miss this spot! Th easiest way to get to the Monument is to take the funicular from Jardin de la Union (about a block away) to the top. The view from the area around the top of the funicular offers a spectacular 180 degree view of the Guanajuato valley, with colorful houses stepping up the hillsides. The funicular is 36 pesos each way (you can ride up and walk down, like me, or ride both ways). You can then climb to the top of the Pipila statue for an additional 7 pesos or so, which makes the view even better. There are some vendor stands selling snacks and trinkets, similar to what you'll find elsewhere in GTO. I spent a good hour up there and really enjoyed it.

This is a large monument, very attractive. I was interested in the fact that Pauncho Villa and other revolutionaries were actually buried there.

The first monument commemorating Mexico's independence, even before the one in Mexico City, built originally in 1791 to celebrate the king Carlos IV, it was replaced in 1823 by the national symbol of Mexico.
