The Obelisk of São Paulo, also known as the Obelisk of Ibirapuera, is a prominent monument located in Ibirapuera Park in São Paulo, Brazil. Standing 72 meters tall, it commemorates the Constitutionalist Revolution of 1932, an uprising by the state of São Paulo against the federal government of Brazil. Designed by the Italian-Brazilian sculptor Galileo Ugo Emendabili, the obelisk serves as a symbol of the sacrifices made during the conflict. Its base houses a mausoleum that contains the remains of revolutionaries who fought in the movement.
