Source Monument to the Polish engineering pioneers in Peru.
Author In gratitude for their contribution to the modernization of the newly formed republic of Peru, a monument was erected in Parque Polonia in the central part of Lima to commemorate the activities and merits of Jan Edward Habich, founder of the first technical college on the continent, as well as his compatriots who formed the academic core of the college. "In honor of the Poles in Peru" reads the Spanish inscription engraved on the monument commemorating the Polish engineers working in Peru in the second half of the 19th century: Jan Edward Habich, Aleksander Babiński, Władysław Kluger, Władysław Folkierski and Franciszek Ksawery Wakulski." The monument is located in the Parque Polonia, in Jesús María. The author of the memorial was the Parisian sculptor Charles Theodor Perron and the sculptor of the bust of Habich was Italian sculptor Carlo Libero Valente.
