Monumento A Fernando Leon Y Castillo

The Monument to Fernando León y Castillo is an imposing sculpture crowning Doramas Park in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, honoring one of the most illustrious figures in Canarian history. Designed by architect Miguel Martín and sculpted by renowned artist Mariano Benlliure, this sculptural ensemble magnificently closes a landscape axis of three terraced gardens featuring work by prestigious designer Rubio i Tudurí.

The monumentality of the work and its privileged location in the upper area of the park make it a visual landmark of the city, though many visitors feel it deserves better maintenance from the city council. Nevertheless, it remains a point of historical and cultural interest highly valued by those who understand Fernando León y Castillo's significance as a Canarian diplomat and politician. Accessible 24 hours a day, this monument represents an important piece of Las Palmas' artistic heritage.
