It consists of carved solid stone, which through images and figures of different characters narrates the history of Mexico, from pre-Hispanic times, to the first decades of the 20th century.
In this monument you can appreciate many carved details of the Mayan culture such as: the coat of arms of the city of Mérida, the chac mool, the Mayan hut, 2 armed and prostrate tiger knights.
In the lower part we can see a large sculpted ceiba, with 4 butterflies on the top, the glory and the conquest of the peoples of Mexico.
