Soler passed away in 1849, but his monument was erected in 1929 &amp; paid for by the city of Buenos Aires. At the top of the column, places &amp; dates of military campaigns tell visitors a bit about the man&#8217;s service to his country.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Recoleta Cemetery, Buenos Aires, Miguel Estanislao Soler\" src=\"https:\/\/recoletacemetery.com\/images\/200803I30.jpg\" alt=\"Recoleta Cemetery, Buenos Aires, Miguel Estanislao Soler\" width=\"300\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But the statue&#8212;generally attributed to <strong>Torcuato Tasso<\/strong>&#8212;is breathtaking. Situated at the entrance gate, it is one of the first pieces of art seen by visitors. A few allegories are present: military action (the sword), victory (a wreath of laurel) &amp; Argentina (shield with the nation&#8217;s coat-of-arms). Although it&#8217;s tempting to rush inside &amp; wander the walkways of the cemetery, stop for a moment &amp; examine this beautiful statue before diving in.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Recoleta Cemetery, Buenos Aires, Miguel Estanislao Soler\" src=\"https:\/\/recoletacemetery.com\/images\/200806F01.jpg\" alt=\"Recoleta Cemetery, Buenos Aires, Miguel Estanislao Soler\" width=\"338\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Recoleta Cemetery, Buenos Aires, Miguel Estanislao Soler\" src=\"https:\/\/recoletacemetery.com\/images\/200710I29.jpg\" alt=\"Recoleta Cemetery, Buenos Aires, Miguel Estanislao Soler\" width=\"300\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Recoleta Cemetery, Buenos Aires, Miguel Estanislao Soler\" src=\"https:\/\/recoletacemetery.com\/images\/200902D30.jpg\" alt=\"Recoleta Cemetery, Buenos Aires, Miguel Estanislao Soler\" width=\"300\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Recoleta Cemetery, Buenos Aires, Miguel Estanislao Soler\" src=\"https:\/\/recoletacemetery.com\/images\/200902D31.jpg\" alt=\"Recoleta Cemetery, Buenos Aires, Miguel Estanislao Soler\" width=\"300\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Promoted to the rank of general during the independence wars, Miguel Estanislao Soler switched hats between military officer &amp; politician several times during the nation&#8217;s&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/recoletacemetery.com\/?p=4066\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">487. miguel estanislao soler<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4066","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-military","category-politicians","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/recoletacemetery.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4066","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/recoletacemetery.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/recoletacemetery.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recoletacemetery.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recoletacemetery.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4066"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/recoletacemetery.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4066\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/recoletacemetery.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4066"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recoletacemetery.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4066"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recoletacemetery.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4066"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
