Moret, Bronze and marble memorial in Plaza de San Juan de Dios, Cádiz, Spain.

The Moret statue features a bronze figure mounted on a marble base with inscriptions highlighting virtues of patriotism, freedom, loyalty, and eloquence.

Segismundo Moret, born in Cádiz in 1833, served as Minister for Overseas Colonies and attempted to grant autonomy to Cuba and Puerto Rico in 1897.

The monument was erected through public subscription initiated by Mayor Cayetano del Toro in 1906, reflecting the community's recognition of Moret's contributions.

The memorial stands in Plaza de San Juan de Dios near the neoclassical town hall, with numerous shops and cafes surrounding the square.

The sculptor Agustín Querol y Subirats created this monument combining both bronze and marble elements to honor the Spanish politician and writer.
