Monumento a Filippo IV

On the horizon we have the emblematic Teatro Real, and in the center of the square, the imposing equestrian statue of Felipe IV, our protagonist. While Felipe III, his father, already had his own equestrian statue (today in Plaza Mayor), Felipe IV decided to surpass him and commissioned the same sculptor to create a work that would challenge the limits of engineering and art of his time: a horse corvette, the participants must unravel the mystery of how such balance is possible.
