Queen Isabel II Monument, Bronze memorial in Intramuros, Manila, Philippines
The Queen Isabel II Monument stands in front of Puerta Isabel II, featuring a bronze statue created by Spanish sculptor Ponciano Ponzano.
The statue was funded through donations collected between 1854 and 1855, and its inauguration took place near Teatro Alfonso XII in 1860.
The monument represents the Spanish colonial influence in the Philippines, marking the period when Queen Isabel II ruled over the Spanish territories.
The memorial stands at its present location since 1975, when it was relocated during the visit of Prince Juan Carlos of Spain.
The statue survived potential destruction during political changes, as Bartolome Barretto protected it by hiding it in his house until the Ayuntamiento claimed it.
