In February 2016 it will be the 35th anniversary since the erection of the Churchill statue in Avenida González Suárez, which has become an icon of the city. The statue of this distinguished figure in British history represents the great friendship between Ecuador and Great Britain. The refurbishment of the roundabout takes place in a month of great historical importance, with the 70th anniversary of the Second World War (2nd September 1945), during which Churchill played a fundamental role.
