Monument to Pablo Sarasate, Pamplona

The Monument to Pablo Sarasate is a bronze statue depicting the violinist holding his instrument, mounted on a stone base with three columns and relief figures. It stands in the central area of Media Luna Park surrounded by green space and trees.

The current monument was inaugurated in 1959 as a replacement for a simpler memorial from 1918 that stood in the Taconera Gardens. This replacement reflected growing recognition of Sarasate's importance as one of the city's greatest artists.

The monument honors Pablo Sarasate, a violinist from Pamplona whose talent took him to perform in major concert halls across Europe and the Americas. The statue stands as a reminder of how local musicians could achieve international recognition during his lifetime.

The monument is located in an easily accessible area of Media Luna Park and can be reached on foot from other cultural attractions in Pamplona. The park remains open year-round with clear pathways, making the statue visible from several routes through the green space.

The monument was funded through donations from local music organizations and citizens who came together to support its construction. This community effort demonstrates how deeply the city valued Sarasate's artistic legacy.
