I bet just about everyone in Buenos Aires has seen the below monument, which they might commonly refer to as the "Monument of the Spanish". It's real name however is an altogether different story. It's something that goes along the lines of: "The Monument to the Magna Carta and the Four Regions of Argentina". The monument was a donation from the Spanish community in celebration of the centenary of the Revolución de Mayo of 1810 (which marked the formal beginning of Argentina's independence from Spain). It was built entirely in bronze and Carrara marble. The sculpture was finalized in 1927. The monument is located in the corner of Avenida Del Libertador and Avenida General Sarmiento.
