The statue of Bernardo de Galvez on horseback by Spanish sculptor Juan de Avalos was reinstalled at the base of Canal Street, near the entrance to the Spanish Plaza. The bronze representation of the Louisiana Spanish Governor and General in the Revolutionary War was sent to Texas during the renovation of the Four Seasons Hotel. The statue originally was expected to return to New Orleans in 2020.

Bruh. That was such a small number compared to illegals.
Keep crying though.

That's a boring statute.
The one they should absolutely put back up is the P.T. Beauregard statute that was at the gate of City Park by the NOMA. That was a beautiful statue.

Next bring back PGT Beauregard. It never should have been taken down.

I hated that people were allowed to frame the idea that these sorts of old bronze military type statutes in older cities were anything but just aesthetic touchstones of another era.
Raise money for and erect anything you want to honor people you might see as thumbing your noses at any these old statues, but frick just let them be otherwise and let old cities keep ther general aesthetics as old cities with a complex history that they were all built upon.

And the most deserving of any of the Confederate generals to have a statue in New Orleans/LA.

For too many simpletons, anything made of bronze = racist.

The strap is around his neck. Where are the triggered people from the Tucks parade? Oh, wrong culture.

I drive this way almost every day, and it has become the place where a bunch of boomers protest with anti-Trump signs every morning. Every single day.
Very bizarre with some truly stupid signs

Exactly. He was tied to the place in a unique and powerful way. Should never have been taken down. Neither should Lafayette have taken Gen. Mouton down.

What statues should they have taken down?
Posted on 2/25/26 at 3:47 pm to Shexter
Now for RE Lee circle (currently pedestal circle).

I could see why folks would want the Battle at Liberty Place monument or have it moved to a museum or somewhere where they didn't have to look at it. It had a prominent inscription that "recognized white supremacy in the South and gave us our state." I had no problem with them removing that.
I also didn't care whether they took Lee down at Tivoli Circle. Lee had no particular tie to New Orleans and his statute was erected well after the civil war to promote the "Lost Cause" narrative and proclaim white supremacy. While I don't live in New Orleans anymore, returning that to Tivoli Circle didn't offend me.

Interesting
I appreciate your response
I have wondered about statues that weren’t timely or very relevant. I can’t get all that worked up about those.

heading down Esplanade and seeing that statue with the museum behind it was one of the prettiest spots in the city
