Monument to Master Giner

Monument located on the Gran Via de Fernando el Católico, work of Vicente Navarro Romero, who died in 1978, but already in 1908 won the prize with the bust Giner, after being many years in the Plaza del Arqueobispo, this seated monument, with classical tunic, inspired by the composer Salvador Giner i Vidal (1832-1911) that had been inaugurated on May 22, 1921 in the Glorieta, with the assistance of Vicente Blasco Ibáñez; in 1943 it moved to the aforementioned Plaça de l’Arquebisbe and, since 1960, to Gran Via where it is located now, closer to the El Micalet Choral Society, so closely linked to the maestro, the founder, that every year on the Second Sunday of November it receives the tribute of this Society and other entities and bands, plus enthusiasts and admirers, after saying the officiated Mass in the neighboring parish of El Pilar. The idea of the monument to Master Giner germinated the day after his burial.
