The head is one of three at this location, honoring some of the greatest men in Mexican history. They are made of a bronze cast, facing north east and are about 4 feet above the ground on a concrete pedestal. The heads themselves are about 6 feet tall and face the center of Ensenada.
Taken from Wikipedia, "Benito Pablo Juárez García ( /be'nito 'paßlo 'xwares gar'si.a/ (help·info)), (21 March 1806 – 18 July 1872) was a Mexican lawyer and politician of Zapotec origin from Oaxaca who served as the president of Mexico for five terms: 1858–1861 as interim, then 1861–1865, 1865–1867, 1867–1871 and 1871–1872 as constitutional president. He resisted the French occupation of Mexico, overthrew the Second Mexican Empire, restored the Republic, and used liberal measures to modernize the country."
