Statues of the Liberators, Sculpture trail along Virginia Avenue NW, Washington, D.C.
The Statues of the Liberators form a collection of bronze and stone monuments extending from 18th to 25th Street on Virginia Avenue Northwest.
The first statue in the series, General José Gervasio Artigas of Uruguay, was installed in 1950, marking the beginning of this memorial collection.
Each sculpture represents a national hero from Latin American countries, reflecting the strong diplomatic connections between North and South American nations.
The National Park Service maintains these monuments, which visitors can explore by following Virginia Avenue near the Organization of American States headquarters.
The statue of Bernardo de Gálvez stands as the only European representative in this collection, commemorating Spain's support during the American Revolution.
