It is one of the only statues in the world dedicated to Lucifer. Most cities avoid such depictions but Madrid put it in the heart of the city.
It is located in Retiro Park and it is not even listed on many official tourist guides so many tourists do not notice it.
✨The statue shows the exact moment Lucifer was cast out of Heaven and it was created by sculptor Ricardo Bellver in 1877. When it first got unveiled it caused controversy, critics called inappropriate or blasphemous- yet the statue still stands today.
The location and the theme of the statue bring a lot of controversy … however, this is not the only statue of Lucifer that can be seen in Madrid. There’s another one, do you know where is the other?
