Monument to Ramos de Azevedo, Bronze and granite monument in Butantã, São Paulo, Brazil
The Monument to Ramos de Azevedo features two rows of Doric columns supporting an architrave and a bronze figure depicting progress on a winged horse.
Inaugurated in 1934 on Tiradentes Avenue, the monument moved to Cidade Universitária in 1973 due to metro construction works in São Paulo.
The monument includes detailed sculptures representing the Muses, symbolizing Engineering, Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture through different artistic expressions.
The monument stands 23.7 meters tall, weighs 22 tons, and visitors can find it at Avenida Professor Almeida Prado in the University City district.
Italian-Brazilian sculptor Galileo Emendabili created this structure using Itaquera granite, incorporating classical elements with modernist interpretations of progress.
