Monument to James I, Bronze equestrian statue in El Parterre, Valencia, Spain.
The Monument to James I features a 5.2-meter-tall bronze statue mounted on a 7.5-meter pedestal, depicting the king in warrior attire on horseback.
The statue commemorates James I of Aragon, who conquered Valencia in 1238 and established the Kingdom of Valencia, marking the end of Muslim rule.
The monument displays the coat of arms of Valencia and the quadribarrada with a winged dragon, representing the connection between the Aragonese monarchy and the city.
Located in the Sant Francesc neighborhood, the monument serves as a central meeting point and orientation landmark for visitors exploring Valencia's historical district.
The bronze material used to create this 11,500-kilogram statue came from five cannons and a howitzer transported from Peñiscola Castle.
