1763 Monument
A giant bronze statue of Cuffy, leader of the 1763 Berbice slave revolt, a symbol of Guyana's national spirit of independence.
This bronze statue, about 15 meters tall, stands in Republic Square. It was created in 1976 by local sculptor Philip Moore to commemorate Cuffy, who led the 1763 Berbice slave uprising. The bold, exaggerated form blends African sculptural styles, and the site is used for major national commemorations. Around the square are the Presidential Office and the Non-Aligned Movement Monument. It can be visited on the way to the botanical gardens.
