The Monument to the Mexicanity, widely known as La Equis, is the giant red X that dominates views near the Rio Grande. Installed in 2013, it has become one of Ciudad Juarez's most recognizable pieces of public art and a landmark visible from both sides of the border.
Its appeal is partly symbolic and partly visual. The monument is most interesting when considered with Chamizal, the border landscape, and the city's modern identity rather than as a stand-alone sculpture stop.
