Equestrian statue of Joan of Arc
Equestrian statue of Joan of Arc, Bronze equestrian monument in Place du Martroi, Orléans, France.
The bronze sculpture presents Joan of Arc mounted on a horse with her armor, sword, and banner, standing upon a pedestal in the central square.
Denis Foyatier completed this monument in 1855, during a period when France celebrated national heroes through public art installations across the country.
The statue represents Joan of Arc as both a military leader and a spiritual figure, reflecting her dual role in French medieval history.
Visitors can reach the monument from the Orléans train station by walking north through rue de la République for approximately ten minutes.
The statue serves as the central point for the annual Joan of Arc Festival in May, when thousands gather to commemorate her liberation of Orléans.
