Monumento a España CABA, Bronze and granite monument at Plazoleta Ciudad de Salamanca, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The monument features a large altarrelief composed of 29 figures standing on a red granite base with bronze sculptural groups depicting Spanish colonization.
Inaugurated in 1936 by Mayor Mariano de Vedia y Mitre, this monument resulted from a commission to artist Arturo Dresco by the Centennial Commission in 1910.
The monument incorporates representations of Christopher Columbus, Queen Isabella I, and Juan Díaz de Solís among other figures from Spanish colonial history.
Located at the intersection of España Avenue and Alférez de Navío Francisco Pareja Street, the monument receives updated illumination for nighttime visibility.
The red granite base displays the engraved phrase 'Fecunda, Civilizadora, Eterna' beneath sculptures representing both Argentina and Spain at the top.
