Cádiz Memorial, War memorial in City of Westminster, England
The Cádiz Memorial displays a substantial French mortar mounted on a dragon base with wings coiling around the structure and Prince of Wales feathers.
The memorial was constructed at the Royal Arsenal in 1814 to commemorate the raising of the siege of Cádiz following Wellington's victory at Salamanca.
The Latin and English inscriptions on the memorial represent the strong military alliance between Britain and Spain during the Napoleonic Wars.
Located at the southeast corner of Horse Guards Parade in Whitehall, the Grade II listed memorial provides wheelchair access for all visitors.
The mortar, originally cast in Seville during 1811 for attacking Cádiz, was abandoned by French forces and presented to Britain by the Spanish nation.
