Monument to Antonio Maceo
Malecon Embankment, Havana, Cuba
Description:
The monument of Antonio Maceo (Cuba, Havana) is a sculptural composition located on the city embankment and represents the union of four figures: movement, thought, justice and law with the exploits of the general. The official date of the opening of this monument is considered to be 1916, almost two decades after the date of the death of this famous military figure in the battlefield.
The famous sculpture depicting an attacking commander on a horse is characterized by the installation of a bronze figure on a pair of rather thin supports, which required the sculptor to perform very complex calculations in order to determine the optimal balance point. You can get to the monument by public transport. The address of this attraction: Malezon, Rarqué Antonio Maceo, El Vedado, Sauo Nueso.
