Statue The Fallen Angel
It is often said that Madrid is the only city in the world with a monument to the Devil. It is, in fact, a fountain that represents the Fallen Angel at the moment of being expelled from Paradise.
The complex was officially inaugurated in 1885.
...The sculpture, located in El Retiro Park, is the work of Ricardo Bellver, who sculpted it in 1878 for the Universal Exhibition in Paris that same year. Later, it was acquired by the Madrid City Council, which commissioned the architect Francisco Jareño to design a pedestal. This was made of granite, bronze and stone, adopting the structure of a fountain with a large pylon
