Holguin, one of the cities visited by Pope Francis during his recent tour of Cuba, is also known as “the city of parks,” and in each of those parks we can find at least one sculpture. Most of these pieces were erected during the first half of the 20th century, shaped in the style that was taught in European art schools in those years. The figures they pay tribute to are mostly generals of the independence war, including local hero Calixto Garcia. The cemetery is another place that treasures a valuable collection of funerary sculptures.
