Lázaro Cárdenas, Bronze memorial statue in Parque Norte, Madrid, Spain.
The 3.5-meter bronze statue stands as a representation of Mexican President Lázaro Cárdenas, created by sculptor Julián Martínez and installed in 1983.
The memorial honors President Cárdenas for providing refuge to 30,000 Spanish Republican exiles during the Spanish Civil War and subsequent Franco regime.
The monument includes three commemorative plaques at its base, with inscriptions recognizing Cárdenas's role in supporting displaced Spanish citizens.
The memorial sits within Parque Norte, accessible to visitors interested in learning about Spanish-Mexican diplomatic relations and Civil War history.
The statue's funding came from both Madrid's municipality and contributions from Spanish Republican communities residing in Mexico.
