Statue of Junípero Serra, Bronze statue in Los Angeles Plaza Historic District, US
The bronze statue of Junipero Serra, created by Ettore Cadorin, stands at 2.667 meters tall and 66 centimeters wide in downtown Los Angeles.
The statue was installed in 1932 during a dedication ceremony that drew 4,000 people to commemorate the Spanish missionary's role in California's colonization.
Members of Tongva and Tataviam Tribal Nations removed the statue in June 2020 to protest the treatment of Indigenous peoples during the mission period.
The statue's location in Father Serra Park served as a meeting point for tours and gatherings until its removal from the concrete base.
The sculpture is a replica of Cadorin's original work created for the National Statuary Hall Collection in Washington, D.C in 1930.
