📖 Descripción 📖


En el corazón de Cartagena, frente al puerto, se alza uno de los monumentos más solemnes de la ciudad: el conjunto escultórico de los Héroes de Cavite y Santiago de Cuba, inaugurado en 1923. Esta obra monumental rinde homenaje a los marinos españoles que combatieron con valentía en la Guerra Hispano-Estadounidense de 1898, especialmente en las batallas navales de Cavite (Filipinas) y Santiago de Cuba.

La estatua representa la Gloria, personificada como una mujer que extiende su brazo hacia los caídos, coronándolos con laureles. A su alrededor, figuras de marinos y oficiales evocan el sacrificio, la disciplina y el deber. Es un tributo a quienes, pese a la derrota, regresaron heridos, mutilados o enfermos, y aún así fueron recibidos con honor.

❓Sobre el Cache ❓

Este cache esta diseñado para que lo hagas disfrutando de la fuente y la plaza, esta a simple vista pero a la vez no, buena suerte!

📖 Description 📖

In the heart of Cartagena, opposite the port, stands one of the city's most solemn monuments: the sculptural ensemble of the Heroes of Cavite and Santiago de Cuba, inaugurated in 1923. This monumental work pays homage to the Spanish sailors who fought bravely in the Spanish-American War of 1898, especially in the naval battles of Cavite (Philippines) and Santiago de Cuba.
The statue represents Glory, personified as a woman extending her arm towards the fallen, crowning them with laurels. Around her, figures of sailors and officers evoke sacrifice, discipline and duty. It is a tribute to those who, despite defeat, returned wounded, maimed or sick, yet were received with honour.

❓About the Cache ❓


This cache is designed for you to enjoy the fountain and the square, it is in plain sight but not at the same time, good luck!
