The statue was initially a movie prop for 'Rocky III' and was donated to the city by Sylvester Stallone after filming.
The statue stands proudly at the base of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, a popular spot for tourists and locals alike.
It was first placed at the top of the museum steps, then moved to the Spectrum sports complex, and finally returned to its current location.
The statue represents the underdog spirit of the city and has become an emblem of perseverance and determination.
The plaque reads, 'His spirit is indomitable,' capturing the essence of Rocky's character and the city's ethos.
The statue was crafted by A. Thomas Schomberg, a respected artist known for his dynamic and expressive sculptures.

Standing at 8 feet 6 inches tall, the statue is an impressive sight against the backdrop of the museum.
