Don Torcuato Luca de Tena died in 1929, the same year in which the Latin-American Exhibition was celebrated in our city. Coinciding both events, Seville decided to make honouring him the same year to perpetuate his figure, his work and the eternal gratefulness of the Sevillian people towards the gentleman Luca de Tena. But as everything, in Seville, the times measure up differently to the rest of the world. The monument was inaugurated twenty-five years later. Opposite to Spain Square there is a small place in which we can see Luca de Tena's bust realized by the artist Emilio Laiz Campos, in front of it there is a small fountain and behind a building with cages for birds that are decorated with poultry motives. The bust takes the legend "Seville to D. Torcuato Luca de Tena and Álvarez Ossorio (1861-1929)". Don Torcuato luca de Tena, son of an industrial Sevillian family, was a founder of the diary ABC, of the magazine Whitly and Black and was the first Marquess of Luca de Tena, named by Alfonso XIII.
