Monumento al Lobo Marino, Sea lion stone monument in Buenos Aires, Argentina
The monument features two massive sea lion sculptures carved from local quartzite stone, measuring 6 meters in height and 13 meters in width.
The coastal area of Buenos Aires contained large colonies of sea lions until the late 19th century, leading to the region's original name 'La Loberia Grande'.
The monument, created in the 1940s by sculptor Jose Fioravanti with Janez Anton Gruden, represents the connection between Mar del Plata and its marine wildlife.
Located in the Plaza de la Armada Argentina along Boulevard Maritimo P.P. Ramos, the monument provides a central meeting point for visitors.
The monument was constructed using Mar del Plata stone, a specific type of quartzite found exclusively in this region of Argentina.
