| This statue, near the Murallas Romanas, was given by Mussolini's Italian government to Zaragoza in 1940 and is a bronze copy, forged in Naples of the original Augustus Prima Porta which is in the Vatican. It shows the emperor dressed as a general and haranguing his troops. At the background the Iglesia de San Juan de los Panetes, a Baroque church listed as a national monument. Its construction was completed in 1725, in replacement of the destroyed church of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem. Right of the church the Torreón de la Zuda, a prominent tower that offers panoramic views of the surrounding area. |
