During my most recent trip to Buenos Aires, I learned about Lieutenant Colonel Juana Azurduy. She was a brave woman who fought for independence from the Spanish empire during the 19th Century. This statue is a powerful tribute to her strength and courageous spirit. It portrays her as a large figure with a large sword protecting a group of indigenous people. I found it interesting that this statue replaced a statue of Christopher Columbus. Unsurprisingly, it was considered to be a politically controversial decision at the time.
