Memorial to Woody Allen, Bronze sculpture in Calle de Pelayo, Oviedo, Spain
The monument is a life-size bronze figure on Calle de Pelayo showing a man in a thoughtful pose wearing his signature glasses. Created by sculptor Vicente Martínez-Santarúa, it stands near Plaza de la Escandalera in the heart of the city.
The sculpture was created following the receipt of a major Spanish award by the filmmaker in 2002. The work was installed on the street in 2003 and has since become part of the city's permanent landscape.
The statue symbolizes Oviedo as a place where cinema and the city meet, bearing a plaque with the filmmaker's personal thoughts about the Spanish city. The inscription reveals how deeply connected he felt to this location.
The monument sits in a central location near several bus routes and is easily accessible on foot. The best time to visit is during daylight hours when you can see the bronze details clearly.
The figure's glasses have been repeatedly damaged intentionally, requiring regular repairs over the years. These incidents reveal just how much the artwork captures public attention in the city.
