Description
Español: Placa conmemorativa de bronce dedicada al pueblo de Málaga por su contribución a la independencia de los Estados Unidos, en los jardines de la catedral de Málaga, Málaga, España. La placa contiene una inscripción en español y otra en inglés, con el mismo contenido. La inscripción en español dice: «La catedral de Málaga / Con esta placa deseamos expresar / nuestra más sincera y profunda / gratitud por la generosidad del pueblo / de Málaga, del Excmo. y Rvmo. monseñor Miguel Murguiro, obispo de esta diócesis / del capítulo de esta santa iglesia, / quienes en el año 1780 donaron 400 000 / reales a su majestad el rey Carlos III/ para ayudar a las colonias de / Norteamérica en su guerra contra / Gran Bretaña, y para apoyar al / general Bernardo Gálvez, gobernador / de la Luisiana, por su generosidad, / renunciaron a la construcción de / un segundo campanario para esta / catedral, el cual nunca llego a / levantarse. Nunca olvidaremos vuestra / ofrenda a nuestro país». La inscripción en inglés dice: «The cathedral of Malaga / We hearby wish to express our most / sincere and deep apreciation for / the generocity of the pepole of Malaga, / the most reverend Miguel Murguiro, Bishop of Malaga and chapter of / thisholy church who in the year 1780 / contributed 400,000 reales to his / Majesty King Carlos III for aid to / the American Colonies in their war / with Great Britain and for support / of General Bernardo de Galvez, / Governor of Louisana. As a result / of their generosity they abandoned / the construction of the second bell / tower for this cathedral which / has never been built. We will / never forget your offering / for our country». En la parte inferior de la placa, se lee: «Presented by The National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution May 9, 1997». Las inscripciones contienendos errores históricos. El primero es que el obispo de Málaga cuando se produjo la donación era José Molina Lario, no Miguel Murguiro, como aparece en la placa. El segundo error es que el nombre de Miguel Murguiro está mal escrito, ya que se refiere, en realidad, a Miguel de Múzquiz, consejerodel rey Carlos III.
