Monumento al Alzamiento Nacional, Melilla, Military memorial in Plaza Héroes de España, Melilla, Spain
The white stone monument features a statue of a soldier holding a rifle and flag, accompanied by a lion and the Eagle of San Juan.
The monument, unveiled on June 20, 1941, replaced the former Café La Peña site and was designed by sculptor Vicente Maeso Cayuela under architect Enrique Nieto.
