Une colonne que l'on voit de loin
Dommage que l'ange perché sur la colonne dite de l'Indépendance ne puisse contempler que des embarras continus de circulation.Les voitures ne cherchent qu'à franchir au mieux le giratoire au centre de grandes avenues.

C'est dommage que le symbole de la ville soit situé en plein milieu d'un rond point, autant dire qu'il n'est pas facile de se garer pour l'admirer. Monument aux dimensions impressionnantes, rehaussé par une sculpture dorée

It is one of the main symbols of the city, it is a superb monument pays tribute to the Heroes of independence. The golden angel is splendid and the statues on the ground are beautifully carved.
