This piece, declared as part of the Cultural Heritage of the Nation in 2018,[2] has a height of 4.75 metres (15.6 ft), considering its pedestal, figure and luminaires. The sculpture has undergone several moves throughout its history, from its initial location in the courtyard of the old Teatro Principal, where it was possibly installed around 1874, to Union Square, then Merced Square and ultimately its final location in front of San Martín Square in 1915.[1]
