Next to Granda's statue is an equestrian statue of José Antonio de Lavalle y García, the subject of Granda's song José Antonio.

Granda lived part of her childhood on a ranch at the Bajada de los Baños in the district of Barranco until she was twelve years old, near the Bridge of Sighs, to which in 1960 she dedicated a song of the same name.

[1][2] As a result of this tribute to a major landmark of the district, the municipality decided to erect a sculpture in gratitude to her.

[3][4] The monument, a stone work by Fausto Jaulis, an artist from Ayacucho,[5] was inaugurated on October 24, 1992,[6] in the Plazuela Chabuca Granda, next to the Bridge of Sighs.

It was quickly restored to its original state and an investigation was launched.
