Monuments and sculptures of my City - José Martí

He was a Cuban poet and politician. A democratic republican politician, essayist, journalist and philosopher, he was the founder of the Cuban Revolutionary Party and organizer of the Cuban War of Independence, during which he died in combat.

On January 19, 1881, the Cuban Apostle landed at Puerto Cabello, Carabobo state, in the northern center of the country, and the next day, at night, he embarked and at dawn on the 21st, he arrived at the Port of La Guaira. Martí was not coming to a barren land, he was coming to one that gave a lot of support, both his people and his ruler at that time, but it was a "promised land where an emigrant, an exile, with revolutionary ideas, He had a breeding ground to locate his family.”

When he left Venezuela on July 28, 1881, expelled by Blanco, he had already contributed, because Martí was a literary, political and revolutionary character who annoyed the regime.

This statue is located at a traffic intersection in Chacaito, the curious thing is what I always highlight... many pass through that area, perhaps they don't even see the statue next to it and those who see it don't even have any idea who is such a famous person. historical.
