Minerva is a bronze statue in Madrid, Spain, installed on the rooftop of the Círculo de Bellas Artes.

In 1964, the project for the statue—intending to fulfill the vision of the original architect Antonio Palacios for the top of the building—was awarded by the Círculo de Bellas Artes to Juan Luis Vassallo.

[1] The sculptural ensemble, representing a standing figure of the goddess, features characteristic attributes associated to Pallas Athena, such as the helmet, shield, spear and owl.

[1] Cast in bronze in Arganda del Rey by Eduardo Capa, a disciple of Vassallo,[2] it weighs 3 tonnes.

[4] It stands at about 58 metres above street level,[5] dominating over the intersection between the calle de Alcalá and the Gran Vía.
