The head is on a ledge on the cliffs below the Royal Palace. There is a small esplanade at the bottom of the cliffs and it is easy to miss the sculpture above you as you walk past it.

The head is looking towards the headland at the other side of Ansa de la Baleta (Baleta Cove).

There is a small plaque below the sculpture.
