Rizal Monument, National memorial in Chamberí district, Madrid, Spain
Bronze statues and stone pedestal stand at the intersection of Avenida de las Islas Filipinas and Calle Santander, replicating the Manila monument design.
Spanish authorities approved the construction in 1996, marking a change in sentiment toward Jose Rizal, nearly a century after his execution in 1896.
The monument serves as a gathering point for Filipino community celebrations, including annual birth anniversary events on June 19 and Rizal Day on December 30.
The memorial occupies 70 square meters of land donated by Madrid authorities, featuring commemorative plaques about Philippines-Spain diplomatic relations and its 1996 inauguration.
Filipino sculptor Florante Caedo crafted the bronze elements while Spanish architect Manuel Rivero Vázquez designed the surrounding landscape of this 200-ton structure.
