Right in the middle of the city, the Plaza Botero is a great example of the outdoors art available in Medellín: 23 statues of the famous painter-sculptor-son of the city are freely accessible to anyone.
At the entrance to the Plaza de las Esculturas, or Plaza Botero as it has come to be known, I found many street photographers as well as guides offering their services to me. But I explored the square by myself. The most famous artist of the city, Fernando Botero donated 23 of his statues to the city which placed them on this square at the doorstep of the Museo de Antioquia, which holds more works of the famous son of the city. Moreover, the square is now known as the Plaza Botero in his honour. His sculptures, famous for the exaggerated forms of the figures represented, are easily recognized. On Plaza Botero, the majority of the figures are voluptuous naked women, but you can also find a few masculine figures, as well as a dog, cat and horse, and a sphinx. Then, there is also a giant hand which is unique in that it does not represent a human or animal.
