This Don Quijote statue is located at the Greater Fort Myers Chamber of Commmerce building on Edwards Drive in Fort Myers, Florida. The iron sculpture is one of 23 different sculptures placed around Fort Myers by Jaxi Construction to promote a now failed condominium project, Allure. The sculptures were then bought by the city for the sum of $55,000.
All the sculptures including this one were created by Colombian artist Edgardo Carmona. They were placed on August 6, 2018. The statue depicts Don wearing holding a spear and shield.
DESCRIPTION TEXT:
"A tribute to the character Don Quixote incarnate: the utopian spirit of following one's own dreams."
