Monument To Chabuca Granda
History
Granda lived part of her childhood on a ranch at the Bajada de los Baños in the district of Barranco until she was twelve years old, near the Bridge of Sighs, to which in 1960 she dedicated a song of the same name.
As a result of this tribute to a major landmark of the district, the municipality decided to erect a sculpture in gratitude to her. The monument, a stone work by Fausto Jaulis, an artist from Ayacucho, was inaugurated on October 24, 1992, in the Plazuela Chabuca Granda, next to the Bridge of Sighs. Next to it stands the monument to the José Antonio de Lavalle y García, to whom Chabuca dedicated the song José Antonio.
In Santiago de Chile, a replica of the statue was unveiled in 2015.
In 2021, Lavalle's statue was vandalised, with its head removed. It was quickly restored to its original state and an investigation was launched.
