Escultura de Iñigo Arista, Plaza de Oriente, Madrid, 2016.The 8th century king of Navarra (Pamplona) who, in legend at least, helped to halt the Muslim invasions toward France and also the Frankish invasions southward, leading to the independence of Navarre. His history and that of the era in which he lived are quite complicated, but Iñigo was seen as an important early leader on the Iberian peninsula. In consequence he is honored with this statue in the Plaza de Oriente near the Palacio Real in Madrid. -- source link
