General Jose de San Martin Memorial
General Jose de San Martin Memorial, Bronze equestrian memorial in Foggy Bottom, Washington, D.C., United States.
The General Jose de San Martin Memorial features a bronze equestrian statue mounted on a granite base near the United States Department of State building. The mounted figure sits prominently displayed with the stone foundation supporting the entire composition.
The memorial was constructed in 1925 as a diplomatic gift from Argentina to the United States. President Calvin Coolidge attended the dedication ceremony, marking an important moment in bilateral relations between the two nations.
The memorial honors a Latin American military leader who fought for independence across two nations. It stands as a symbol of friendship between Argentina and the United States.
The memorial sits at the intersection of Virginia Avenue and 20th Street NW and is accessible to visitors using wheelchairs. Bicycle rentals are available nearby if you want to explore the surrounding area on two wheels.
French sculptor Augustin-Alexandre Dumont created this work as a replica of the original statue standing in Plaza San Martin, Buenos Aires. This artistic connection links the memorial to another famous square thousands of miles away.
