Erected on the centre of the Plaza del Doctor Marañón, the monument consists of a bronze equestrian statue representing Manuel Gutiérrez de la Concha e Irigoyen—a general who stood out in the fight against Carlism—on a stone pedestal decorated with two reliefs.

A work by Andrés Aleu [es], the bronze statue is 4.55 meters high, and it weighs 8,280 kilograms.

[1] On the longitudinal sides of the stone pedestal there are two reliefs illustrating important episodes of the general's life,[1] authored by Pablo Gibert [es].

[2] One of the reliefs depicts the Spanish intervention in the neighbouring kingdom of Portugal in 1847 during the Portuguese Civil War, with Gutiérrez de la Concha entering the city of Porto followed by his staff, in the act of being received by the local leader of the insurrectionists, Vasconcelos [pt], surrounded by his own people.

[1] The other relief is inspired by the death of the general on 27 June 1874, depicting the moment when his assistants raised his mortally wounded body to a horse that would take the body out of the Battle of Monte Muro [es],[1] an episode of the Third Carlist War.
