Monuments of Moscow: Cervantes

Continuing with my Monuments of Moscow series, we have seen some monuments already.

Today you are about to see a monument to Cervantes, the great Spanish novelist and philosopher, literary figure.

The long road to Cervantes. 


The monument is located in the middle of a park - the Druzhba Park in North Moscow.




I think, the monument, which is a bit on the smaller size, was gifted to the City of Moscow by the Mayoral office of Madrid or something and installed in the late 1990s - early 2000s at the latest.



Cervantes used to have a rapier or some other type of sword on his left there which however was stolen on at least two occasions (and it even made local papers) so they finally decided not to replace it.
