Monumento a Vicente Rocafuerte, Bronze statue and memorial in Plaza San Francisco, Guayaquil, Ecuador
The monument stands 2.5 meters tall and portrays Vicente Rocafuerte in a reflective pose, wearing a Roman cloak and presidential sash with crossed arms.
French artist Aime Millet created this monument, which was inaugurated on January 1, 1880, marking the first public monument in the city of Guayaquil.
The pedestal features bas-relief images depicting Rocafuerte surrounded by adults, children, and an angel, with a Greek temple in the background.
The monument is situated at the intersection of Avenida Nueve de Octubre and Pedro Carbo, making it accessible for visitors exploring downtown Guayaquil.
Following damage from the Great Fire of Guayaquil in 1896, the Philanthropic Society of Guayas took responsibility for the monument's restoration.
