Crab Monument (terrestrial)
Sculpture created by Alberto Muñiz Morales representing a huge crab. Symbol of the city Cárdenas, in Matanzas, for the abundance of these animals in the area.
History
The crabs must have saluted the caravels of Sebastián de Ocampo when, bojeando to the Island of Cuba by orders of the advanced Diego Velázquez, entered and delimited the bay of Siguapa or Siguagua (Bahía de Cárdenas). They must also have interposed their fight against the first lumberjacks who extracted the wood from the area, as well as those who set up the dry docks for the repair of their boats.
