This urban sculpture was made by Indalecio López in 1998.
Called almost since its installation, affectionately, as "La Gorda" due to the volume of the sculpture, although the volume was not due to the woman's curves, but to her posture, lying down and with her arms on her chest, like an indication of the strength and value of the people of Palencia. History has left a record of this with episodes such as the defense of the city that the women carried out in May 1388 against the English army of the Duke of Lancaster.
