Equestrian statue of King Philip III by Jean Boulogne and Pietro Tacca, 1616
Plaza Mayor
Madrid, September 2022
“There is a bronze statue of King Philip III at the center of the square, created in 1616 by Jean Boulogne and Pietro Tacca. Giambologna's equestrian statue of Philip III dates to 1616, but it was not placed in the center of the square until 1848. The statue was a gift from the Duke of Florence at that time. It was Queen Isabel II ordered to move it from Casa de Campo to become the centerpiece of the Plaza Mayor.” (Plaza Mayor, Wikipedia)
