Antonio Maceo monument, Havana

Antonio Maceo monument, Havana, Bronze equestrian monument in San Lázaro, Havana, Cuba.

The Antonio Maceo monument is a 1916 bronze statue by Italian sculptor Doménico Boni, standing in Havana's San Lázaro neighborhood between the Malecón and the Hermanos Ameijeiras Hospital. It depicts Antonio Maceo on horseback, and it was placed near the site of the former Batería de la Reina, in front of the Casa de Beneficencia y Maternidad at the intersection of Belascoaín and San Lázaro.

The work was created in 1916 by Italian sculptor Domenico Boni to honor Antonio Maceo, a leader in Cuba's independence war against Spain. The statue marks the struggles of the 1800s that led to the island's liberation.

The monument stands where the Batería de la Reina (1861) once faced the Casa de Beneficencia y Maternidad, at the Belascoaín and San Lázaro corner. When the statue was placed in 1916 the surrounding park had not been built, and protests demanded a greater tribute to Antonio Maceo.

The monument stands in the San Lázaro neighborhood between the Malecón and the Hermanos Ameijeiras Hospital, near the intersection of Belascoaín and San Lázaro, where the Batería de la Reina once stood. Approach from the Malecón side for the open sea front; the surrounding streets are busy with traffic.

The monument was placed in 1916 before any park existed around it, and protests demanded a greater tribute to Maceo. It stands near the site of the Batería de la Reina, an 1861 battery facing the former Casa de Beneficencia y Maternidad at Belascoaín and San Lázaro.
