Monumento al Doctor Rico

Monuments

Doctor Antonio Rico Cabot was born in 1866 in Alicante. He obtained his Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery in Madrid, where he wanted to compete for a chair, but, faced with the fragility of his health, he returned to his homeland. In Alicante, he treated patients for free and won the affection of his fellow citizens. He was also a councilor in the City of Alicante and did much for his city, like recovering and hoisting lands, thus achieving a much better quality of life for everyone. A bust has been dedicated to him in the Ruiz de Alda Park of Monte Tossal. You can visit it by entering the Park through the Road of San Fernando Castle.
