Cerro de la Gloria

It is called Cerro de la Gloria (1,000 meters above sea level) due to the fact that it hosts on the top the commemorative monument of the Army of the Andes. It was inaugurated on February 12, 1914.

It was originally known as "Cerro del Pilar." By order of the provencial government, in 1913 it changed its name; and different jobs started to build the sculpture. The place was chosen by the author himself, the Uruguayan sculptor Juan Manuel Ferrari, who sought a hill overlooking the mountains to enhance the symbol of the epic as a cusp. For the erection of the monument, he was suggested by different important figures, as expert Francisco P. Moreno, member of the National Commission appointed to complete the work.
