This square, like most of them, aims to offer the walker a dimension of spaciousness and at the same time of rest, where they can sit and enjoy it.

The statue of Hercules with the lions and under the flag of Andalusia symbolizes power and strength.

Hercules, a mythical figure from ancient Greek and Roman mythology, who is considered a symbol of strength and bravery. The statue is not just a decorative element, but a powerful symbol of the strength, pride and history of Andalusia. An allusion to the mythical foundation of Andalusia and the strength of the region. It is closely linked to the coat of arms of Andalusia, which also shows Hercules with the lions and bears the inscription: “Andalucía por sí, para España y la humanidad -Andalusia for itself, for Spain and for humanity.
