San Antonio is now home to the tallest “La Catrina” statue in the United States, standing at an awe-inspiring 38.5 feet tall in Maverick Plaza at La Villita. This stunning statue is adorned with a lighted butterfly and a vibrant, flower-covered hat, embodying the elegance and tradition of the iconic Day of the Dead figure. Crafted by Mexican artists Jesus and Amauri Sanabria, the statue is a tribute to the cultural symbol popularized in 1913 by José Guadalupe Posada.
