The Estadio Monumental Isidro Romero Carbo (temporarily known for sponsorship reasons as Estadio Banco Pichincha) is a football stadium located in the parish of Tarqui in northern Guayaquil, Ecuador. The stadium is the home to Ecuadorian football club Barcelona.

The Monumental was born from the initiative of club president Isidro Romero Carbo. He wanted Barcelona, at the time playing their home games at the Estadio Modelo Alberto Spencer Herrera, to have their own stadium.

The stadium was inaugurated on December 27, 1987. The first game was played against Barcelona FC of Spain, which Barcelona SC won 1-0. Barcelona invited many South American football celebrities, such as Pelé, to the inauguration. Pelé was so astonished, he compared the stadium to the famous Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro.
