Focus on this artwork and analyze the Symbol of the University and Concepción.
Along with the clock tower of the University of Concepción, the mural Presencia de América Latina is a true symbol of the culture of Concepción. It is frequently visited by foreign and domestic tourists and reproduced in souvenirs, book covers and catalogues, among other products. In 1994 it was depicted on a postage stamp to commemorate the seventy-fifth anniversary of the University. It was recognized by the Government of Chile as a National Historic Landmark under Decree Number 147 of 30 April 2009. Also in recognition of its heritage and cultural value to Greater Concepción and the Bío Bío Region, it was one of the cultural artefacts recognised with a plaque in 2009 in celebration of the Bicentennial of Chile in 2010.
