The Equestrian

The Equestrian monument is 36 feet tall on an 8 foot base. It weighs 34,000 pounds or 17 tons (10,000 pounds of stainless steel internal armature and 24,000 pounds of bronze).

The 18 ton, 34 ft tall statue of Spanish Conquistador Don Juan de Oñate y Salazar is the largest & heaviest (bronze) equestrian statue in the world. With a price tag of $2mil, it took 9 years to build

Henri had to pee. Hadn't been to restroom since 7 pm

The detail on the statue is amazing. A lot of fine craftsmanship.

The largest equestrian statue in the world... A conquistador.
