Monument aux Girondins, Bordeaux Monument aux Girondins, Bordeaux (must see) The Monument aux Girondins is one of Bordeaux’s most distinctive landmarks. A statue atop a 43-metre high column, it is completed at the base by an ornate fountain, cast in bronze. It can be found on the Esplanade de Quinconces, a wide promenade next to the River Garonne. The monument is a tribute to the Girondins, a political group that has roots in the Gironde department, of which Bordeaux is the capital. An affiliation of radical intellectuals, they were intrinsic to the wave of anti-royal feeling which swept France in the 18th century. Eventually, the movement swept beyond their control, with the outbreak of the revolution.

The monarchy was overthrown, and divisions grew between Paris and provincial France. The Girondins’ rival political group, the Montagnards, assumed power and called for the execution of the group’s ringleaders. They famously sang “rather death than slavery”, when facing the guillotine, and became martyrs for the cause of free and peaceful France. The statue at the top of the column represents Freedom breaking out of his shackles. The Girondins, a source of great local pride, share this public space with statues of Charles Louis de Montesquieu and Michel de Montaigne, two other popular local figures.

Why You Should Visit: Huge, impressive, massive water fountain. At the base of the monument's central column, there is a massive, elaborate and heroic landscape of statuary – horses, cherubs, sea creatures and human figures – each one sculpted in a vigorous and strikingly realistic motion. The whole thing is just bursting with energy and the water playing and spraying in and around it adds to this feeling of a captured moment in a tumult of motion. It is a similar effect to the bombastic marble fountain at Trevi in Rome but possibly even better executed.

Tip: Looks awesome when it turns dark and lights turn on. Be sure and climb up behind the fountains to get a better view of...

The Monument aux Girondins is one of Bordeaux's most iconic landmarks, located in the expansive Place des Quinconces. Completed between 1893 and 1902, this monument commemorates the Girondins, a group of revolutionary leaders who were executed during the Reign of Terror in 1793. The monument serves as a tribute to the ideals of the Republic and is a significant symbol of the city’s rich history.

The monument boasts a striking design, featuring a tall column crowned by a grand statue of Liberty breaking her chains. Surrounding the column are two large basins adorned with bronze sculptures of horses and various allegorical figures, all crafted by the artist Gustave Deloye. The entire structure is both majestic and intricate, showcasing the artistic talent of the late 19th century. In 2004, it was designated a historical monument, further solidifying its importance in...

Está obra espetacular que se eleva acima de uma fabulosa fonte de bronze serve para homenagear os membros de um grupo político que desempenhou um papel vital durante a Revolução Francesa.

O Monumento Girondin é uma homenagem a um dos grupos mais infelizes da Revolução Francesa, cujos membros foram executados apesar de terem desempenhado um papel importante em seu planejamento. Este icônico marco está localizado em uma grande esplanada, então você pode tirar ótimas fotos da fonte e das esculturas abaixo da torre de pedra. Passeie ao longo da margem do rio para chegar ao monumento antes de descobrir as outras atrações nas redondezas. Os girondinos foram um grupo político que desempenhou um papel fundamental nos primeiros estágios da Revolução Francesa, visto que sua participação foi fundamental para a fundação da Assembleia Legislativa. No entanto, quando o poder estava nas mãos dos violentos jacobinos, mudanças constitucionais revolucionárias deram lugar ao Reino do Terror, durante o qual os girondinos, um grupo mais moderado, foram executados junto com milhares de outros. Veja a coluna, com cerca de 43 metros de altura. No topo há uma estátua de um anjo da liberdade com uma corrente quebrada. Na base, você verá figuras de mulheres representando Bordéus, o rio Garonne e a região de Dordonha. Examine os ornamentos das fontes de bronze que ladeiam o monumento. Um deles se chama Triunfo da República e mostra uma mulher segurando um ramo de oliveira, símbolo da paz. Tente adivinhar o significado das figuras que aparecem nas fontes. Um deles se refere à família e o outro à irmandade. Aproveite a oportunidade para assistir a uma das feiras ou eventos que são organizados na vizinha Place des Quinconces. Entre outros espetáculos, aqui acontecem concertos, circos e competições desportivas ao longo do ano. O monumento está localizado próximo a outras atrações no centro de Bordeaux. Depois de ver as esculturas, relaxe nos jardins públicos ou aprecie a arte moderna no Museu de Arte Contemporânea CAPC ao norte do monumento. Ao sul, você tem o Grand Theatre de Bordeaux e a igreja de Notre Dame. O Monumento Girondin está localizado no centro de Bordéus, portanto, você pode chegar aqui facilmente por transporte público. Se for de ônibus, desça na parada Enghien e, se for de bonde, na parada Quinconces. O monumento fica a menos de cinco minutos a pé do escritório de turismo...
