HELLO FRIENDS OF STEEMIT TODAY I BRING YOU AN EXCELLENT POST, OUR HIGHEST MONUMENT AND THE HIGHEST OF AMERICA IS FULFILLING THE DAY OF TODAY 34 YEARS.
The Monument to Peace (also called Lady of Peace) is a colossal commemorative sculpture of the Virgin Mary, made entirely in concrete, was built on the highest peak of Trujillo, considered a tourist symbol of the State, a point that serves as an encounter of the great tourist influx that visits these prodigious lands.
This statue, venerated as a symbol of peace, was inaugurated on December 21, 1983, its construction lasted 18 months. It was made by the sculptors Manuel
of the Fuente and Rosendo Camargo plus Conto with the collaboration of the presbyter Juan Francisco Hernández.
The sculpture is raised on a steel structure, which constitutes skeleton of the same emptied in reinforced concrete, has a weight of one thousand two hundred tons (1200 TN) distributed in 46.72 MTS of height. Only the head of this work weighs eight tons (8 TN.).
* First Lookout: it is located at the level of the virgin's knee, 18 meters from the base, which is ascended in a mechanical elevator. From this height you can see the city of Trujillo, capital of the homonymous state.
Second Lookout: located in the left hand of the statue, 4 meters higher than the first viewpoint, you can see the city of Trujillo and its surroundings, including the Plains the Monay, the Living Water reservoir, Betijoque, Motatán, the agricultural fields of the Municipality Pampanito and Isnotú-place of birth of José Gregorio Hernandez. Only climb up wide steps.
Third Lookout: located on the right hand side of the statue, 26 meters. You can see from this height the Teat of Niquitao, which with 4,006 meters of height is the highest point of the Trujillo State.
* fourth Lookout: located at the waist level of the Virgin, 28 meters, which is also up in an elevator. From here you can see the Ceiba, and the eastern coast of Lake Maracaibo, the crests of the Sierra Nevada of Mérida, several we stopped and the Trujillo geography up to Lara State.
Fifth lookout: located in the eyes of the Virgin, 44 meters away, it is from here that you get the most extensive and impressive view. Climb up following more than 200 wide steps.
In addition to the viewpoints, the monument consists of a chapel or center of prayer and spiritual recollection and a bell tower that repeats every half hour. The dome of the chapel is decorated with a stained glass window in the center of which a pigeon shines, surrounded by luminous colors that allude to the spiritual splendor of the symbol.
View of the west of the city of Trujillo from the base of the Monument to the Virgin of Peace, Cerro Peña of the Virgin, the city is not visualized very well due to the haze that was at the time of the visit.
The rock of the virgin: It is a place of pilgrimage where a large number of believers go to turn off promises, rosaries are recited, salves or hymns are sung to contribute the favors granted.
On the other hand it is the tallest habitable sculpture in America, being centimeters taller than the Statue of Liberty in New York in the United States and the statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. It is also the statue dedicated to the highest Virgin Mary in the world.
It should be noted that this initiative comes from the first lady of the Republic of that time.
The images that have no source are taken from my cell phone brand ZTE, model 812 in a visit to this great place.
I hope you like this humble information.
