Monumento a la Constitución de 1978
Information
This monument, located in the Bellas Artes gardens, by the Natural History Museum, is a sculptural piece by architect Miguel Ángel Ruiz-Larrea, erected in Madrid in 1982 to pay tribute to the Spanish Constitution of 1978.
It is a cubic piece made using a reinforced concrete structure that is covered with sheets of white macael marble. Each visible side of the cube is a concave pyramid leading to the centre, with steps at the bottom. The centre is an empty cube, defined geometrically by the ground and the tops of the different pyramids. The work, of a minimalist nature, evokes the ideas of openness and rationality.
