List of Spanish–American War monuments and memorials

This is a list of monuments and memorials that were established as public displays and symbols of the Spanish–American War of 1898.

Cuba

There have been numerous memorials to the war in Cuba, including sites preserved by engineers right after the war and numerous monuments that have been preserved by Cuba to this day, although few Americans have been able to visit since U.S. banned travel to Cuba in 1963.[1]

  • Monument to Victims of the Maine, Havana, inaugurated March 8, 1925. Created by Cuban architect Félix Cabarrocas and Spanish sculptor Moisés de Huerta; included two marble columns and two allegorical figures representing fraternity between the Republic of Cuba and the United States. The monument was "decapitated" by removal of the eagle atop the columns in 1961 after the Cuban Revolution when relations with the U.S. deteriorated.[2][3]
  • Other Havana memorials included busts of Theodore Roosevelt, William McKinley, and Leonard Wood (military governor of Cuba).[2]
  • Monument to 71st New York at San Juan Hill, San Juan Hill[4]
  • Monumento en Playa de Daiquiri, Santiago de Cuba[5]
