The bronze equestrian statue of the Cid was made by Juan Cristóbal and inaugurated in 1955.
With the sword and the cape flying in the wind, the equestrian image with Babieca as a mount, has an attitude of departure towards exile. The sword points towards Valencia, a city that he conquered in 1094. The statue faces the San Pablo bridge where we can see eight Cidian figures by Joaquín Lucarini.

Trembling with rage, Alfonso complied with this humiliating request, but he never forgave the knight for his actions. It was the birth of a bitter enmity and the myth of "El Cid".
