STATUE ANIS DEL MONO

3D ModelNoAI

The magnificent statue of the Anís del Mono monkey (2012), the work of the Badalona artist Susana Ruiz Blanch is one of the symbols of the city of Badalona. It is located on the Paseo Marítimo, near the old factory of this famous liquor, at the access to the Pont del Petroli. It is based on the image of the Anís del Mono label, a simian figure with the face of Charles Darwin. Why did the brand choose this symbol? At the time of its foundation, the theory of the evolution of species was the great scientific debate worldwide and it became fashionable to represent Darwin with a monkey’s body.
