Monument to Count Ansúrez, Bronze statue in Plaza Mayor, Valladolid, Spain.

The bronze figure of Count Pedro Ansúrez stands 2.60 meters tall, holding a Castilian banner in his right hand and municipal scrolls in his left.

The monument, completed in 1903 by sculptor Aurelio Rodriguez Vicente Carretero, pays tribute to Count Pedro Ansúrez, who established Valladolid in the 11th century.

Four bronze reliefs on the granite pedestal depict important scenes from Count Ansúrez's life, including the construction of Santa Maria La Antigua church.

The monument occupies a central position in Plaza Mayor, providing visitors an opportunity to examine the detailed bronze work and stone carvings throughout the day.

The statue incorporates a broad sword as a supporting element, while the pedestal displays the official coat of arms of Valladolid and commemorative inscriptions.
