Walk 13 minutes to Plaza Julio César Franco and then continue to La Victoria Alada. This public art piece represents the Comuneros struggle and is best viewed from the nearby Palacio de López garden for the full effect.

Stand in the garden at Palacio de López to watch the sun set toward the WSW behind the statue. The building is very well lit at night, creating a striking contrast as the sky darkens.
