Agüeybaná El Bravo, Bronze memorial statue in Barrio Playa, Ponce, Puerto Rico.
The stone sculpture represents Agüeybaná II standing tall with traditional Taíno garments and holding ceremonial objects at an intersection near Caracoles sector.
Created in Mexico and installed in 2008, this monument honors the Taíno cacique who led the 1511 rebellion against Spanish conquistador Juan Ponce de León.
The statue stands at the former residence location of the cacique, according to historian Jalil Sued Badillo, marking a significant place in Taíno history.
The monument is situated at the southeast corner where PR-2 Ponce Bypass meets Avenida Hostos, providing easy access for visitors.
Every November, while others observe Columbus Day, local groups gather at this statue for traditional Taíno ceremonies, music, dances, and food presentations.
