Monumento al Hermano Miguel

Montúfar y Guayaquil

About

This enormous statue is of a famous religious personality who carried out much social work for the benefit of the city. The place occupied today by the monument to Brother Miguel is located at the entrance to the old city and was once the site of a beautiful building that housed the national library. This religious man, whose real name was Francisco Febres Cordero, was a member of the Congregación de los Hermanos de La Salle. In October 1984 he was canonized for his humble nature and selflessness. He died in Pietá del Mar, Spain, on February 9, 1910. This is a good place to visit as part of the colonial tour.
