El Señor de Las Palomas

In the Plaza de Armas one finds the statue of a man who formed a part of the landscape of San Luís's Historical Center for many years. It is the Gentleman Jose Moreno Díaz, better acquaintance as the " Master of the Swallows " (El señor de las palomas). This man was coming twice daily to the Plaza de Armas to feed to the swallows and he dedicated a great part of his life to the care and protection of the Swallows. On having seen it, they were flying towards him, were eating directly of his hand and were stopping in his shoulders.
