Comments:
The statue commemorating the author of "Don Quixote" Miguel de Cervantes was made in 1835 by Antonio Solá.

On the base of the statue are two inscriptions and two reliefs: the inscriptions appear in Latin (which appears on the central sign), and its translation into Spanish. And the reliefs describe events from the book "Don Quixote".
