Gloriette of Bécquer, Marble monument in Parque de María Luisa, Seville, Spain.

The monument features a central marble bust of poet Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer surrounded by three female figures representing different states of love.

The Gloriette was inaugurated in 1911 following an initiative by the Álvarez Quintero brothers, who funded it with proceeds from their theatrical work.

The three marble female figures around the monument illustrate the themes from Bécquer's Rima X poem about the ephemeral nature of love.

The monument stands near multiple bus lines including 1, 6, 30, 31, 33, 34, 37, C1, and C2, making it easily accessible for visitors.

A swamp cypress tree planted around 1850 forms an integral part of the monument, chosen specifically by sculptor Lorenzo Coullaut Valera.
