In the center of the gardens of the Plaza de Oriente is this sculptural ensemble that began in the 17th century and is dedicated to King Philip IV. The main statue, made in bronze, represents the monarch on horseback in a difficult composition by the Florentine Pedro Tacca.

Felipe IV (April 8, 1605 in the Palacio Real de Valladolid; † September 17, 1665 in the Real Alcázar de Madrid) was a Spanish monarch from the House of Habsburg (Casa de Austria). From 1621 to 1665 he ruled the countries of the Spanish crown (Spain, Naples, Sicily, Sardinia, Spanish Netherlands) with the colonial possessions, until 1640 he was the last Habsburg king of Portugal as Filipe III.
Philip IV was the last Spanish king to engage in real great power politics. He renewed the war against the Netherlands and took part in the Thirty Years' War on the side of the Austrian Habsburgs. In addition, he fought with France and England for hegemony in Europe (Franco-Spanish War and Anglo-Spanish War). In the Peace of Westphalia (1648) Spain had to recognize the independence of the Netherlands and the power of the Protestants and France, in the Peace of the Pyrenees (1659) Philip lost Roussillon and neighboring areas to France.
