A statue of Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom and strategic warfare (colloquially known as La Minerva), is installed in a roundabout fountain in Guadalajara, in the Mexican state of Jalisco. It is a bronze sculpture supported by a large pedestal that names 18 notable citizens of the city. The statue has indigenous facial features and holds a spear and a shield. The phrase "May justice, wisdom and strength, guard this loyal city" is engraved as well. Initially, the statue was criticized by the citizens, but since then it has become a symbol of the city.
