This monument was right behind our Airbnb but we never noticed it until the very last night. We passed it on our way back to the apt when it was all nicely lit up in the dark . We quickly decided to get out of our Uber to check it out. You can purchase tickets to go to the top of the monument. We skipped that as there was a line. The square right around the monument was very lively with music performance and many street vendors.
