This paper analyzes the symbolic function of monuments commemorating the Independence in Mexico and Argentina, from the study of the modern concept of historical monument that was developed especially in the nineteenth century, with the rise and growth of cities and rapid changes in the traditional urban life, but especially with the formation of nation states and their need for symbols. Mostly it is about exploring the relationship between memory and monuments, its political implications and the construction of a discourse of intentional monuments, made expressly, as well unitentional monuments of meanings by a collectivity.
