El Cid by Anna Hyatt Huntington in Buenos Aires, Bronze equestrian monument in Caballito, Argentina

The bronze sculpture of El Cid stands 12 meters high, depicting the warrior raising his right arm with a spear while carrying the Tizona sword.

The Hispanic Society of America donated this replica of Anna Hyatt Huntington's 1927 New York sculpture, which was inaugurated in Buenos Aires in 1935.

The stones used in the pedestal originate from Vivar del Cid in Spain, the birthplace of the medieval warrior Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar.

The monument sits at the intersection of Honorio Pueyrredon, San Martin, and Gaona streets, serving as a central meeting point in the neighborhood.

This sculpture represents one of the largest artworks created by a female artist, alongside Huntington's Joan of Arc statue in New York.
