One is the parish church of the Assumption, of course, and as I always say in these cases, built on a previous mosque, so there are no remains of temples infidels .... (SIGH). The red marble and places like twisted columns, black, came from the then famous quarries of the Sierra de Cabra, were the perfect material to unleash the baroque splendor enjoys showing church. Splendor has been about to disappear due to two earthquakes that damaged so that nearly being shot down by the danger posed to the security not only of the faithful who prayed it, but all the buildings that around.

Este rincón se lo dedico a [poi=160591]Serviajera[/poi], que un día me pidió que fotografiara la estatua de Perón en Madrid para colgarlo en Minube. Como la estatua está en mi barrio, hoy me he acercado a echarle unas fotos. Además, he estado buscando un poco de información sobre el escultor para poderos contar algo más de este rinconcito madrileño. Como veis, la estatua se encuentra en la misma [poi=161921]Avenida del General Perón[/poi], una anchísima calle que discurre perpendicular al Paseo de la Castellana. Es en realidad la extensión de la calle Avila, que comunica [poi=118357]Bravo Murillo[/poi] con Infanta Mercedes y de ahí a la Castellana. Aprovechando su anchura, se han abierto unos hermosos jardines con diversas zonas de recreo y allí, presidiéndolo todo la estatua de quien un día fuera vecino de Madrid debido al exilio que tuvo que vivir de su tierra natal argentina. Fue inaugurada en febrero de 1975, justamente en el aniversario de su muerte y se debe la misma al escultor bilbaíno Agustín de la Herrán (podéis ver su firma en una de las fotos), autor realista que destaca sobre todo por su escultura religiosa y por sus retratos. Su obra más conocida, por su monumentalidad (32 metros de altura), es la Virgen de Quito, Ecuador. Para su factura se contó con una colecta de voluntarios argentinos y españoles. Posteriormente el Ayuntamiento de Madrid pondría el pedestal, en el que hoy se pueden observar diversas placas conmemorativas que se han ido añadiendo con el tiempo en reconocimiento a su labor por este país sudamericano.
This corner is dedicated to Serviajera, one day asked me to photograph the statue of Peron in Madrid to hang on Minube. As the statue is in my neighborhood, I approached today's take some pictures. In addition, I have been looking for some information on the sculptor to poderos have more of this corner Madrid. As you see, the statue is located on the Avenida del General Perón, one very wide street that runs perpendicular to the Paseo de la Castellana. Is actually Avila Street extension, which communicates with Infanta Mercedes Bravo Murillo and from there to the Castellana. Leveraging its width, have opened several beautiful gardens with playgrounds and there, presiding over all the statue neighbor who one day out of Madrid because he had to live exiled from his homeland Argentina. It was inaugurated in February 1975, exactly on the anniversary of his death and must be the same to Bilbao sculptor Agustín de la Herran (you can see his signature on one of the photos), realistic author remarkable for its religious sculpture and their portraits. His best known work for its monumentality (32 meters high), is the Virgin of Quito, Ecuador. For your bill featured a collection of volunteers and Spanish Argentines. Madrid City Council subsequently put the pedestal, which today can be seen various commemorative plaques that have been added over time in recognition of his work for this South American country.
