Art and cultural landmarks

At the entrance to Piedra del Águila is the Paseo de las Esculturas, which consists of sculptures made from recycled iron. The carving “Maternidad India” by Juan Borges Linares is up to ten meters tall. The works therefore differ in material and scale: recycled iron at the Paseo, and a height of up to ten meters for the carving “Maternidad India.”

The Tallados Borges Linares are part of Piedra del Águila’s cultural expression. The Monumento al Águila is considered a symbol of the landscape and local identity. The Museo Arqueológico shares the stories, traditions, and cultural heritage of the region.
