Monument to General Carlos M. de Alvear

The Monument to General Carlos M. de Alvear (Spanish: Monumento ecuestre a Carlos María de Alvear) is a public sculpture monument located on Plaza Julio de Caro, a landmark in the Recoleta neighbourhood of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

It was raised in honor of Carlos María de Alvear (1788-1852).

In 1912, Rodolfo Alcorta, a friend of Bourdelle, invited the sculptor to participate in a concours for the realization of this monument.

Once finished the monument was shipped to Buenos Aires from France in 1925.

The sculpture and the pedestal of polished pink granite adorned with additional bronzes by the artist, stands in its current location since 12 October 1926.
