Equestrian monument to General Manuel Belgrano

The Equestrian monument to General Manuel Belgrano is a landmark of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

It depicts General Manuel Belgrano holding the Flag of Argentina, and it is made of bronze over a pedestal of granite.

This was requested to the French sculptor Louis-Robert Carrier-Belleuse, who would make the statue of Belgrano, and Manuel de Santa Coloma, who designed the horse.

More than 20,000 people were present at the ceremony, and the Argentine National Anthem was played at Teatro Colón that night.

During the work the monument was rotated as well, and instead of watching towards to Buenos Aires Cabildo it was made to look to the North, so that it didn't show his back to the Casa Rosada.
