Summary

[edit]
Description

Está situado en la Plaza de la Lealtad, junto al Paseo del Prado, en el mismo sitio donde el 2 de mayo de 1808, las tropas francesas al mando del general Murat fusilaron a numerosos madrileños. Acabada la Guerra de la Independencia, las Cortes de 1814 quisieron rendir un homenaje a todas aquellas víctimas, construyendo un monumento en su memoria. Sin embargo, con la vuelta de Fernando VII esta iniciativa quedó paralizada, y no fue hasta el 21 de abril de 1821, durante el Trienio liberal, cuando se colocó la primera piedra. Las obras fueron realizadas por el arquitecto Isidro González Velázquez, ganador del primer premio de un concurso de proyectos que se había convocado para su materialización.
