\u00abAl soldado leg\u00edtimo no lo mueve el odio a quien tiene en frente, sino el amor sagrado a las leyes que resguarda a su espalda\u00bb.<\/p><\/blockquote>

Observe la gallard\u00eda de un hombre cuya espada impidi\u00f3 que la capital de la joven rep\u00fablica cayera en el caos. Esta escultura inmortaliza al general Juan Jos\u00e9 Neira Velasco, el ilustre militar boyacense que entrelaz\u00f3 su destino con la libertad de Am\u00e9rica y la estabilidad de las instituciones colombianas. Visto aqu\u00ed con su uniforme de gala de alta oficialidad, Neira encarna el valor inquebrantable de un estratega que sirvi\u00f3 bajo el mando de Sim\u00f3n Bol\u00edvar en las exigentes campa\u00f1as del sur y en la liberaci\u00f3n de Ecuador y Per\u00fa.<\/p>

However, the golden pages of this bronze monument were written in 1840, during the bloody War of the Supremes. In the decisive Battle of La Culebrera, General Neira brilliantly led the government army, achieving a heroic victory that halted the advance of the rebel troops on Santaf\u00e9 de Bogot\u00e1. Although the lance wounds he received in that battle would cost him his life a few months later, his sacrifice preserved the legitimacy of the State. Married to one of the daughters of the celebrated tribune Jos\u00e9 Acevedo y G\u00f3mez, Neira also possessed a sensitive side: he was the protector who risked his own life to hide the poet Luis Vargas Tejada in a cave on his estates after the September Conspiracy of 1828. This work pays tribute to the warrior, the civilian, and the martyr of the law.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
