Monumento a España CABA, Bronze and granite monument at Plazoleta Ciudad de Salamanca, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The Monument to Spain is a large altar relief with 29 bronze figures standing on a red granite base that depicts scenes of Spanish colonization. The composition presents different phases of this historical period through sculptural form.
The monument was commissioned by the Centennial Commission in 1910 and completed by artist Arturo Dresco in 1926. Its construction was part of official efforts to honor the historical connections between Argentina and Spain.
The monument shows figures important to Spanish colonial history, including Christopher Columbus and others who represent the connection between Spain and the Americas. The bronze sculptures tell the story of an era that shaped both nations.
The monument is located at the intersection of Avenida Espana and Alférez de Navío Francisco Pareja Street and is easy to reach. Modern lighting makes it visible in the evening and allows visitors to admire the sculptural details.
The red granite base bears the engraved inscription 'Fecunda, Civilizadora, Eterna', which characterizes the relationship between the two nations. These words capture the concept that underlies the entire composition.
