Planned to be built to commemorate the writers work and his 300th death anniversary in 1916, a contest was drawn for the design of the monument. The work of the monument started in 1925 and was open to Public in 1929.
Additional changes were made in the 1930’s and today, the 22 metre tall monument is one of the iconic places in Madrid.
The monument consists of a statue of Cervantes overlooking the bronze statues of Don Quixote and his faithful squire, Sancho Panza- the writer’s favourite characters.
