Taras Shevchenko monument in Buenos Aires, Bronze and granite monument in Plazoleta Gral. José Antonio Páez, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The monument features a 3.45-meter bronze statue of Taras Shevchenko wearing a wind-swept cape, standing on a red dragon granite pedestal with inscriptions.
Unveiled on December 5, 1971, the monument marks 75 years since the first Ukrainian immigrants arrived in Argentina, representing their gratitude to their new homeland.
