Monument to the Heroes of Cavite and Santiago de Cuba, Naval war memorial in Cartagena, Spain
The monument features a 15-meter central obelisk emerging from a stone pedestal, adorned with bronze sculptures and maritime decorative elements.
King Alfonso XIII and US Ambassador Alexander Pollock Moore attended the 1923 inauguration ceremony, marking Spain's recognition of naval sacrifices.
Bronze sculptures on the monument depict allegorical figures of Glory, Heroism, and Patria, representing Spanish maritime traditions and military values.
The monument stands in Plaza Heroes de Cavite, near Cartagena's waterfront, with inscriptions in Spanish commemorating the 1898 naval battles.
The construction received funding through public subscription, including contributions from Cardinal Primate of Spain Victoriano Guisasola and military figures.
