My Walk Through Francisco of Miranda Square

I walked through Square Miranda, one of the oldest squares in Cumana, and spent quite a while examining the large sculpture of Francisco of Miranda, the work of Julio Cesar Briceño Andrade, who succeeded in conveying a sense of dynamism in the bronze, as Miranda appears determined to draw his sword. You can also see his period military uniform and the cape that distinguishes him as Generalissimo, the highest military rank granted in the country—even higher than those held by Simon Bolivar.
