Perched on a hilltop, the Sebastian de Belalcázar Statue stands as one of Cali’s most iconic landmarks. Erected to honor the Spanish conquistador who founded the city in 1536, the statue captures Belalcázar leaning on his sword and pointing towards the ocean, surveying the expanse of Cali below. Visitors can take in the panoramic views of the city, with its sprawling neighborhoods and distant mountains, while reflecting on the historical significance of this imposing figure.
