    This bronze sculpture by the artist Enrique Grau is located on the Plaza de San Pedro Claver, directly in front of the church and monastery of the same name.

    The monument honors San Pedro Claver (1580-1654), a Spanish Jesuit priest and missionary who became known as the "slave of the slaves." He dedicated four decades
    of his life to helping enslaved people brought from Africa to the port of Cartagena. He provided them with food, medicine, and clothing, and according to tradition, baptized more than 300,000 people.
