Description

Este monumento se encuentra en la famosa Plaza de San Juan de Dios . Consiste en una estatua de bronce del político liberal Segismundo Moret (que ostentaba el título honorífico de "hijo predilecto" de la ciudad de Cádiz) sobre un pedestal con elaborados relieves.

En los cuatro lados del monumento hay inscripciones que dicen "patriotismo" ("Patriotismo"), "libertad" ("Libertad"), "lealtad" ("Lealtad"), "elocuencia" ("Elocuencia").[7] Un cartucho de mármol en el anverso dice "cádiz a moret" ("Cádiz a Moret").

Moret, como Secretario de Ultramar, jugó un papel clave en la abolición de la esclavitud en Puerto Rico en 1870.

El monumento fue inaugurado en 1909 . Fue uno de los raros casos en que se inauguró un monumento mientras la persona homenajeada aún vivía. Se dice que Moret comentó que en vida detestaba este tipo de homenajes y que sentía que le costaría disgusto, porque la felicidad es muy voluble para los políticos.
