A multi-panel ceramic tile mural depicts a historical scene, likely representing the founding of Mendoza. The mural features approximately fifteen human figures arranged in a dense formation. Spanish conquistadors are visible in the foreground and background, attired in 16th-century military clothing, including helmets (morions), full body armor (cuirasses), and breeches. Some are mounted on brown and white horses. They uniformly carry long, slender pikes or lances. Interspersed among the armored figures are several indigenous individuals, depicted mostly bare-chested or in simple, patterned tunics or skirts, also holding pikes. One prominent armored figure is seen from the back in the foreground, facing the viewer's right. The background is a simplified landscape with a light blue sky and a beige/ochre ground. The ceramic tiles show visible grout lines and minor surface wear or cracking. This specific mural is located in Plaza Pedro del Castillo, Mendoza, Argentina.
