Obelisco a los Niños Héroes

El obelisco está ornamentado en la parte superior con una paloma y una estrella dorada y protegido por una cerca de hierro adornada con las haces de lanzas envueltos en crespones. Ahí figuran los nombres de los alumnos de Colegio Militar que fueron muertos o heridos el 13 de septiembre de 1847.English translation:In 1884 this was the first monument erected in honor of the Children Heroes, created under the direction of Porfirio Díaz under Presidente Manuel González.
