Monument to General Arsenio Martínez-Campos, Bronze equestrian statue in Retiro Park, Madrid, Spain.

The monument features General Martinez Campos mounted on a horse, positioned on a limestone base with military decorations and bronze reliefs.

The monument, unveiled in 1907 by King Alfonso XIII, commemorates General Martinez Campos, who led the 1874 coup that restored the Bourbon monarchy.

Sculptor Mariano Benlliure created this monument through public subscription, incorporating military symbols and battle scenes into the limestone structure.

The 7-meter tall monument stands in Plaza Guatemala within Retiro Park, accessible through multiple park entrances and near public transportation stops.

The base includes inscriptions of military campaigns in Cuba, Catalonia, and Africa, along with bronze trophies representing cavalry and infantry forces.
