Don Álvaro de Bazán, Bronze monument in Plaza de la Villa, Madrid, Spain.
The statue features Admiral Bazán in military attire, standing atop a grey marble pedestal while holding a sword and command staff.
The monument, inaugurated in 1891 by Queen Regent Maria Christina, commemorates the Spanish naval commander who led numerous victories in the 16th century.
The pedestal displays verses by Lope de Vega, highlighting the admiral's triumphs against Turkish, French, and English forces at sea.

The bronze statue, cast in Rome at Crescenzi's foundry, incorporates a shattered Turkish banner beneath the admiral's feet as a symbol of naval supremacy.
