    The Méndez Núñez Sculpture is a monument in homage to Rear Admiral Casto Méndez Núñez (1824-1869), a prominent Spanish naval officer of the 19th century. The bronze piece, the work of the Compostela sculptor Juan Sanmartín Serna, was cast in the work of the Ferrol Arsenal.
    If you visit Santiago de Compostela, do not hesitate to admire this statue that pays tribute to an illustrious sailor and patriot. 🌟🌊🗡️

      Agustín Querol, the admiral with a light and commanding gesture with binoculars and a saber in one hand and the other outstretched. His famous sentence: “honor without ships is better than ships without honor”.
