    The sculpture of Philip IV of Madrid's Oriental Plaza, with its unique and majestic shape, brought the Oriental Plaza to fire. Oriental Plaza, built by the invader King José Bonaparte I (brother of Napoleon), was completed in 1844, adjacent to the east gate of the Palace of Madrid (main gate) to the west and connected to the Royal Theatre to the southeast. The square's spacious boulevards, neat green plants, beautiful round fountains, neat tall statues (about 20 statues of Spanish kings), are full of French style. The bronze statue of the marble pedestal at the C-place of the square is a 12-metre-high Philip IV rod-drawn sculpture built in 1640. Most of the riding sculptures are three hoofs landing on the ground, ensuring the sculpture's stability with three pivots. To show the power of Felipe IV, the sculpture emptied the front hoof of the horse, but the technology at the time was difficult to balance the bronze statue. Galileo, the father of modern physics, gave the answer and used two methods to achieve balance: one is to cleverly make the horse tail to the ground, the horse tail and the rear hoof form a 3-point balance; the second is to make the horse's rear adopt a solid state, the front is hollow state, so that the center of gravity is moved back to three pivots. Thus, the sculpture of the vacated by the horses' double hoofs was born horizontally, and it is still proud of the Qunxiong and Weizhen Quartet.

    The Plaza de Oriente in Madrid is a monumental space that has different gardens and an excellent exhibition of sculptures of Spanish kings.Designed in 1844 by the architect Narciso Pascual y Colomer, the square was built under the orders of King José I after the demolition of the medieval houses that were in the area.very very excellent view in the evening!

    Located in the Oriental Square on the east side of the palace, the statue in the center is King Philip IV, and the statue of the prince on both sides. The leaves on the top of the head have turned golden yellow, and finally there is autumn, and it looks much cooler than King Philip IV.

    Spain, Madrid... There is a statue of Philip III riding in the center of Oriental Square. In the 17th century, it was the place of bullfighting and the birthplace of bullfighting activities; now it is the place where young people gather, and there are many bars and restaurants. At night, the cafes here will be crowded with people, and on Sunday morning it will become a flea market. There are many statues on the side of the square. These statues are the kings of Spain. They were originally on the roof of Madrid's palace. Afraid of the injury of the statue, they were put on the side of the square.

    Beautiful, I like it very much. I went in June. It's a little hot. To the West and east of the Oriental Square are the Madrid Palace and the Royal Theatre, with fountains and the statue of King Philip IV riding in the garden.
