The monument was constructed using over 800,000 kilograms of reinforced concrete, clad in marble from the Argentine province of San Luis.
The Propylaeum is aligned with the cardinal points, symbolizing the unity of the nation.
Beneath the Tower, a subterranean crypt houses the ashes and a bronze statue of Manuel Belgrano.
The monument features various allegorical statues representing the pampas, the Andes, the Atlantic, and the Paraná River.
The 'Gallery of Honor of the Flags of the Americas' is housed within the monument, displaying flags from across the continent.
The Monumento Histórico Nacional a la Bandera in Rosario is a monumental complex built on the site where Manuel Belgrano first raised the Argentine flag in 1812. The structure is composed of three distinct parts: the Tower, the Propylaeum of the National Flag, and the Grand Staircase. The Tower contains a crypt dedicated to Belgrano and an observation deck offering views of the Paraná River. Architects Alejandro Bustillo and Ángel Guido designed the complex, which was inaugurated in 1957. The architecture blends elements of neoclassicism and Art Deco. It serves as the primary site for National Flag Day celebrations held every June 20th.
