Monumento a Jorge Isaacs, Literary monument near Municipal Administrative Center in Cali, Colombia.
The Jorge Isaacs Monument features sculptures made of Carrara marble, depicting characters from the novel Maria alongside a bust of the author.
The monument was commissioned in 1920 by women from Cali and Buga, with Catalan sculptor Luis A. Parrera creating the memorial to honor the writer.
The monument stands as a tribute to Jorge Isaacs' novel Maria, a cornerstone of 19th-century Colombian literature that narrates a tragic love story.
The monument underwent extensive restoration in 2018, including repairs to cracks and water damage, with a total investment of 370 million Colombian pesos.
The sculpture incorporates the novel's characters Efrain and Maria reading poetry, accompanied by their dog Mayo and a black bird in the composition.
