La Rogativa

Created in 1971 by New Zealand artist Lindsay Daen, this 12-foot bronze statue depicts a group of people making a plea to God for help. It commemorates the true story of Old San Juan’s bishop leading a crowd of women through the streets one night in 1797 — an act that caused invading British troops to retreat. It’s located on Caleta de las Manjas near the San Juan Gate.
