Toro de Las Delicias, Bronze monument in Las Delicias district, Maracay, Venezuela.
The bronze bull statue stands at the northern end of Avenida Las Delicias, measuring 195 centimeters in height and 285 centimeters in length.
The statue arrived between 1933 and 1935 as a gift for General Juan Vicente Gomez during his dictatorship to promote cattle development in Venezuela.
Local residents developed numerous stories about hidden gold treasures and secret tunnels connected to the statue's pedestal over the generations.
Visitors can reach the monument through the El Castaño bus line, stopping at the Las Delicias Zoo station on the southern section of the avenue.
The sculpture, created by French artist Isidore Bonheur, is a replica of one of two bulls at the entrance of Georges Brassens Park in Paris.
