Paseo de las Estatuas

Paseo de las Estatuas is a collection of bronze statues arranged along a paved pathway within the Paseo del Prado area. The figures represent different historical personalities from Spain's past.

The statues were erected at different times to honor figures who shaped Spain's culture, science, and politics. Each was added during a different period, reflecting what different generations valued.

The statues carry names and inscriptions honoring notable Spanish figures and preserving their contributions to the country. As you walk past them, you can read about who each person was and why they mattered.

The location is easily accessible near metro stations Banco de España and Atocha. For a comfortable visit, allow time to walk slowly and read the inscriptions on each statue.

The statues are intentionally arranged in chronological order, creating a visual journey through centuries of Spanish intellectual history. Walking from beginning to end lets you see how societies valued different kinds of people across time.
