Monumento a Franco, Public fountain in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain
The monument consists of a bronze sculpture featuring an angel with extended wings supporting a male figure holding a cross-shaped sword.
Inaugurated on March 17, 1966, the fountain was funded through a public subscription campaign where 80,000 people contributed between 1 and 5 pesetas.
The structure stands at the intersection of Rambla de Santa Cruz and Avenida de Anaga, representing a period of Spanish history through its artistic elements.
The monument sits within a circular pond measuring 30 meters in diameter, surrounded by nine pillars that reach fourteen meters in height.
The angel figure symbolizes the Dragon Rapide aircraft, while water jets and cascades create patterns resembling ocean movements around the structure.
