Located in the heart of Oviedo's old town, the Monument to Woody Allen is a life-sized bronze statue of the acclaimed filmmaker, seated on a bench as if taking a rest. The statue was unveiled in 2003 after Allen visited the city for the Prince of Asturias Awards and publicly declared Oviedo to be a beautiful, vibrant, and charming city. Today, it is a popular photo spot for visitors and locals alike. The figure is depicted in a relaxed pose, with a thoughtful expression, and the bench invites you to sit beside him for a selfie. The monument is set in a small plaza near the Campo de San Francisco park, surrounded by historic buildings and lively streets. It's a whimsical tribute that reflects the city's appreciation for the arts and its sense of humor.
