This monument stands in tribute to Emilio Castelar, a Spanish politician, and president of the First Spanish Republic. Not only was he a national leader, he was a noted writer and journalist and left a legacy in print of political science such as a history of the Republican Movement in Europe amongst other works. The monument features a stone base with figures on all four sides. On the main side, facing southwards, is the bronze figure of Emilio Castelar, and at his feet lies a marble Venus, an allegory to the truth. Flanking him on either side are two classical public speakers, Cicero and Demosthenes who observe and listening to Castelar. Like many great monuments in Madrid, this sits in the middle of a roundabout in a very busy road. I didn't even try to get closer. The monument is really out of the way of the main tourist areas. While it's definitely worth a look, only do so if you have a bit of time in Madrid

A must see. Right in front of the monument there is “Torre Castelar” one of the most beautiful buildings I’ve seen.

Located in the middle of a roundabout on the Paseo de la Castellana, this monument is dedicated to the historian, journalist, academic, public speaker and politician from Cadiz, Emilio Castelar Ripoll. It is a complex work by Mariano Benlliure. It is a stone base that allows figures to be placed on each of its sides. On the main side, facing southwards, we can find the bronze figure of Emilio Castelar, and at his feet lies a marble Venus, an allegory to the truth, towards which the bronze figures of a worker, a soldier and a student rise, representing Work, Effort and Study. On the opposite side, there are two classical public speakers: Cicero and Demosthenes who observe and listen to Castelar. Finally, at the rear, there is a bronze relief dedicated to Castelar’s speeches in favour of the abolition of slavery in the former Spanish colonies.
