Statue or Monument

My friend and I were arranging a place to meet. She suggested the place and referred this as a monument. I thought this is a statue. What is a common word to call this, statue or monument? I just know that the Statue of Liberty is called *Statue.

A statue is often a constituent of a monument, which may or may not include a statue; contrariwise, many statues are not monuments at all. I would call that a statue, certainly.
