Statue located on the east side of the Madrid Opera, in Plaza de Isabel II.
Queen Isabella II was Queen of Spain from 1833 until her deposition in 1868.
Britannica teaches us that her "troubled reign was marked by political instability and the rule of military politicians.
Isabella’s failure to respond to growing demands for a more progressive regime, her questionable private life,
and her political irresponsibility contributed to the decline in monarchical strength and prestige
that led to her deposition in the Revolution of 1868."
