Description The monument to Ferdinand Magellan which is located in Muoz Gamero square in Punta Arenas, Chile and was inaugurated in celebration of the 4th centenary of the arrival of Ferdinand Magellan to the strait that bears his name and therefore the discovery of Chile. It is made of bronze and concrete, 9 meters high and on the top of the monument a statue of Ferdinand of Magellan standing on the bow of the ship looking toward the strait. At the base there are two statues representing the indigenous Ona and Tehuelches indians. Urban legend has it that if you touch the toe of the Ona indian you will get lucky and, if you kiss it, you will return to Punta Arenas. Original photo.
