Review:
The Seahorse Monument is formally known as "The Boy on the Seahorse," and it is one of the main symbols of Puerto Vallarta. The sculpture was made by artist Rafael Zamarripa Castañeda, and it depicts a naked boy riding a seahorse. The sculpture was first made in 1960 and placed on Los Muertos Beach, but it was swept away in a storm, and a larger replica was made in 1976 to be placed on the Malecon downtown. The city is now home to two of these monuments; the original sculpture was eventually found and put back in its place on the beach.
