Wine Horses Monument

Located on the slope leading up to the Basilica, this spectacular bronze sculptural ensemble pays tribute to Caravaca de la Cruz’s most iconic festival: the Wine Horses, declared UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The work, by Valencian artist Rafael Pi Belda, captures the exact moment when a richly harnessed horse, accompanied by four young men, makes the fast and daring run up the slope.
It is a symbol of the effort, passion, and tradition that define this unique celebration, and a must-stop photo spot for all visitors.
