Why are there so many statues of Simon Bolivar?
I heard it said a couple of times before that Simon Bolivar (Simón Bolívar as it is written in Spanish) is the historical character with more statues in the world.
I don’t know if that’s true, but there are certainly statues of the Latin America liberator in places that have nothing to do with his story or achievements. I find that fact surprising and intriguing.
