Monument on the edge of Mexico City's Chaptultepec Park, erected in honor of the "Niños Héroes," the legendary military cadets who are said to have hurled themselves from the walls of Chapultepec Castle rather than be captured by the invading U.S. army as it advanced toward the center of the capital (War with the United States, 1846-1848).
