La Victoria (Spanish pronunciation: [la βiɣˈtoɾja]) is a city in the——state of Aragua in Venezuela.
It is famous for the "independence battle of 12 February 1814," the Battle of La Victoria, where José Félix Ribas led a young and inexperienced army that succeeded in halting the royalist troops of José Tomás Boves at La Victoria.
