In the heart of the serene Jardines de la Victoria, nestled in the city of Córdoba, Spain, stands a testament to artistic genius – the Monument to the Duke of Rívas, designed by Mariano Benlliure in 1929. This towering structure showcases a resemblance of Ángel de Saavedra, the Duke of Rívas, resplendent with a cloak draped over his robust shoulders. The base of the statue distinguishes itself with a stone pedestal, richly adorned with intricate reliefs, offering a captivating peek into the Duke's most treasured theatrical performances. Among these, you will find extracts from Don Álvaro or the Force of Sino, A Castellano Leal, and Al Faro de Malta, tastefully depicted.
