Avenida del Puerto y Avenida de las Misiones (Monserrate)
Inaugurated in the mid-1930s, this magnificent monument pays homage to Dominican-born General Máximo Gómez, who became Commander in Chief of Cuba’s Liberation Army during the Wars of Independence. The monument is eminently classical, and combines marble and bronze. It is the work of Italian sculptor Aldo Gamba, whose design was chosen over those of more experienced artists, which caused a bit of a scandal at the time. Gamba also made several sculptures–perhaps the most famous is the one known as Fuente de las Musas or Fuente de las Ninfas, which is situated at the entrance of the Tropicana Cabaret.
