Monument to Philip IV of Spain - Madrid, Spain - Lion Statues on Waymarking.com

These lion statues are located around King Philip IV of Spain's monument, just outside the Royal Palace. This one is depicting King Philip IV of Spain, right next to the Royal Palace. "He ascended the thrones in 1621 and reigned in Spain until his death and in Portugal until 1640. Philip is remembered for his patronage of the arts, including such artists as Diego Velázquez, and his rule over Spain during the challenging period of the Thirty Years' War. On the eve of his death in 1665, the Spanish Empire had reached 12.2 million square kilometres (4.7×106 sq mi) in area but in other respects was in decline, a process to which Philip's inability to achieve successful domestic and military reform is felt to have contributed."
