A monument to honor Jose Miguel Gomez was opened in Havana in Avenida de Los Presidentes.

He was Brigadier General of the Liberator Army in the fights for the independence against Spain. Between the years 1909 and 1913 he was the president of Cuba. The monument is surrounded by a semicircle and crowned by six figures in heroic position, representing the six provinces in which the country was divided at that time.

#S1 Avenida de Los Presidentes

It is also known as G Street and is one of the most important and wide avenues of Havana, particularly in the area called Vedado. It starts in Avenida del Malecon and ends in Zapata street, close to Plaza de la Revolucion. The name Avenue of the Presidents is due to the fact that other monuments were built in this avenue to honor other presidents of Cuba. At the end of the 20th century other monuments of relevant Latin American figures were built.
