#### Sword at the ready and face turned seaward, this statue depicts the heroic figure at the centre of the Mexican fight for independence.

The Sculpture of Pedro Sáinz de Baranda is dedicated to the local hero who helped liberate Mexico from Spanish colonialists. Representing a key figure in the country’s independence battle, the bronze figure stands on a white pedestal and appears to face the sea. Read the Spanish poem on the plaque adorning the front of the statue.

The sculpture rises from an intriguing platform made from angled white blocks. Climb up the small steps to get closer to the figure, which stands at the center of a traffic circle near the sea. Enjoy picturesque views of the Gulf of Mexico, framed by rows of palm trees swaying in the breeze.

Take photos of the statue from the patch of grass beside it. You can also sit here and have a picnic.

Join the joggers and cyclists on the light red strip of the Malecón de Campeche boardwalk across the road. If you head north along this coastal path, you’ll soon reach the Novia del Mar monument.

Beneath the poem on the statue’s plaque is another statement referring to Pedro Sáinz de Baranda as the protagonist in achieving the independence of Mexico. Study the intricate details of the statue, dressed in military uniform and clutching the handle of a sword, looking as though ready to draw it from its sheath.

Learn about Sáinz de Baranda’s role in Mexico’s independence, helping to defeat the Spanish in their last stronghold in Veracruz. The statue was constructed by sculptor Mara Marin.

The Sculpture of Pedro Sáinz de Baranda is along the coast next to the Letras Campeche logo that spells out the city’s name. Walk north from the Baluarte de la Soledad for about 10 minutes to get here.

While you’re in the area, make sure to see nearby sights such as the Puerta de Mar, the Parque de Moch Couoh and the Campeche Government Palace.
