a monumental sculpture by renowned Uruguayan artist Jose Belloni, stands proudly on Avenida Lorenzo Merola near Estadio Centenario in Montevideo, Uruguay. This iconic work of art, installed in the heart of the city, is a testament to the country's rich cultural heritage and its connection to the past. The sculpture, created circa 1934, depicts a pair of yoked oxen pulling a heavily loaded wagon. The powerful and determined oxen embody the spirit of hard work and perseverance, values deeply ingrained in the Uruguayan people. The wagon, adorned with various agricultural produce, symbolizes the fertile land and abundant resources that have long sustained the country. La Carreta was officially designated as a national monument in 1976, recognizing its significance as a symbol of Uruguay's agricultural past and its enduring connection to the land. The monumental piece, made by Belloni, is a source of pride for the people of Montevideo and a popular tourist attraction. The sculpture's installation on Avenida Lorenzo Merola, near the historic Estadio Centenario, adds to the area's cultural significance. The avenue, named after a prominent Uruguayan journalist and politician, is lined with other notable monuments and landmarks, making it a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Montevideo's rich history and culture. Jose Belloni's La Carreta is more than just a sculpture; it is a living symbol of Uruguay's past, present, and future. The powerful image of the yoked oxen pulling the heavily loaded wagon continues to inspire and captivate visitors and locals alike, reminding us of the strength, resilience, and determination of the Uruguayan people.
