Paseo de Montejo is a notable avenue of Mérida, México. It is named after Francisco de Montejo, the Spanish conquistador who founded the city in 1542, and is the location of some of the most iconic buildings and monuments of the city. Inspired by the French boulevard, the avenue is flanked by trees and has several roundabouts along its course. Many beautiful mansions were built along the avenue by wealthy Yucatecans of the 19th century.

It extends north from the city center (the Santa Ana District) and connects into highway 231 just south of the Mayan Museum (Gran Museo Maya). Its length of over 6 km makes it one of the longest avenues of the city.

Mérida is the capital and largest city in Yucatan state in Mexico, as well as the largest city of the Yucatán Peninsula. The city is located in the northwest part of the state, about 35 kilometres (22 miles) off the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. According to the 2015 census, the population of Mérida was 892,363, ranking 14th among the most populous Mexican cities.

It is an imposing monument, fourteen meters high, the work of the Colombian sculptor Rómulo Rozo, located in one of the roundabouts of Paseo Montejo, at the junction with Campo Deportivo Avenue and it is, without a doubt, one of the monuments most emblematic of the contemporary Mérida.

Monument to the Fatherland is considered an example of neoindigenist or neomaya architecture and consists of an imposing stone monolith in the shape of a hemicycle that occupies a quarter of a hectare, sculpted in its relief to tell key moments of the history of the Mexican nation, from the time pre-Hispanic and until the first decades of the twentieth century, and even the history of the State of Yucatan in particular. In it, stone, water, fire and metal merge. It is said to be the only monument that was carved in stone directly into the world in the 20th century.

The works began in 1945 and was inaugurated on April 15, 1956. Worked in quarry stone, it evokes representative facts of Mexican history: the colony, independence, reform and revolution. The origin of the work is somewhat uncertain, since it is said that it was the result of a contest organized by the then University of Yucatan to make a monument to the flag, a project that in the hands of the master Rozo evolved to what we now know.

It consists of a central semicircle with two ramps, a staircase and a fountain, with a total external diameter that reaches 40 meters. On the facade of the monument facing north, in the lower concave part, there is a water mirror with a stone parapet that imitates Lake Texcoco, with a reproduction of the events that gave rise to the national emblem: an eagle fighting against a snake, on a cactus, symbol of the foundation of Tenochtitlán, the origin of the Aztec culture. In this part of the façade and around it, the monument shows the shields of the 31 States of the Republic and that of the Federal District.

Gonzalo Guerrero was a Spanish sailor and one of the first Europeans to settle in sine of an indigenous culture. He dies fighting against the Spanish conquerors under Pedro de Alvarado . Controversial character because he was acculturated and became a Mayan chief during the conquest of Yucatan, especially war against the conquerors, for what was known as El Renegado by his Spanish compatriots, while in Mexico they call him Father of Miscegenation
