Monumento a Antonio José de Sucre, Guayaquil, Monument in Plaza de la Administración, Guayaquil, Ecuador

The Monumento a Antonio José de Sucre is an 8.50-metre-high sculpture in Plaza de la Administración, at Pichincha and Clemente Ballén streets. Sucre, in period military uniform with a sword at his belt and a spyglass, stands on a pedestal with a marble lower base and a granite second tier. The front relief commemorates the Battle of Pichincha, with figures of General José María Córdova and Lieutenant Abdón Calderón; bronze plaques flank the base and the Ecuadorian coat of arms faces front, inscribed "A Sucre - Guayaquil".

The monument was inaugurated on October 8, 1911, and designed by Italian sculptor Augusto Faggionni Vannuncci. It honors Marshal Antonio José de Sucre, a central figure in South America's independence movement.

The front of the pedestal carries a relief of the Battle of Pichincha, with General José María Córdova and Lieutenant Abdón Calderón shown among the figures. Below it, the Ecuadorian coat of arms is set above the inscription "A Sucre - Guayaquil", the city's own dedication to the marshal.

The monument sits at the intersection of Pichincha and Clemente Ballén streets in central Guayaquil and is easily accessible from multiple directions. It serves as a helpful landmark for visitors exploring this part of the city.

Local residents raised funds through donations to finance the monument's construction, showing that the community played an active role in preserving historical memory. This collective effort made it more than just a public artwork.
