Monumento a Chopin na Praia Vermelha
Monumento a Chopin na Praia Vermelha, Monument at Praia Vermelha, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
The statue stands prominently in General Tiburcio Square within the Urca neighborhood, presenting Frederic Chopin in metal sculpted form near the beach.
The monument's inauguration on September 1, 1944, marked five years since World War II began and commemorated the destruction of Warsaw's Chopin statue by Nazi forces.
This sculpture by Halley Pacheco de Oliveira represents Brazil's appreciation for classical music and maintains registration in Rio de Janeiro's Monument Inventory.
The monument sits at coordinates 22°57'18.684"S and 43°9'55.879"W, making it accessible to visitors exploring the Praia Vermelha beach area.
The statue temporarily resided at the Municipal Theater entrance but returned to Praia Vermelha following public dissatisfaction with its placement.
