Monument to the Sites

This monument stands in the Plaza del General Santocildes, a huge square located in a semi pedestrian area near the City Hall and the Plaza Mayor in the center of Astorga. The sculpture consists of a fountain and a tiered pedestal where a majestic lion is seizing an eagle. On the granite pedestal is an inscription, decorated with shields. This monument was erected in honor of those who died during the War of Independence, when Astorga fought a great battle against the French. This battle is commemorated theatrically throughout the city each year in memory. It is certainly worth a visit to admire
