Antoine D'Audigier
A battle remembered
This tribute to the feminist movement was created on the 27th of May, 1812, in honour of Manuela Gandarillas, an old blind woman who led a group of other brave women, young and old, into battle, for lack of men. These women armed themselves and fought for independence, in one of the bloodiest battles in the history of Bolivia. From the hill, we have a good view of the city.
