The square-cone-shaped Cervantes Monument is located in the center of the neatly rectangular Plaza de España in the center of Madrid. Just above the granite monument base is a white marble statue of Cervantes wearing a collar and sitting on a grand master's chair. His flowing cloak cleverly conceals his left arm lost in the Battle of Lepanto in 1571. In his right hand, he holds the masterpiece "Don Quixote", with a sharp gaze and a radiant look. At the front of the monument are the statues of the two protagonists of "Don Quixote". Don Quixote rides a horse and raises his gun, fearless; Sancho Panza rides a donkey, with loyalty and death written all over his face. The dark red marble corner monuments on both sides of the monument are the statues of Princess Dulcinea in Don Quixote's dream and the beautiful peasant girl Aldonza.
