Monument to Don Juan Tenorio

It gets its name from the leather refiners that were in the area centuries ago, but now it is popular because it depicts one of the most famous characters in Spanish literature. It is situated between the Murillo Gardens, Santa Cruz neighbourhood and Puerta de la Carne. 

Don Juan Tenorio stands in the centre of Plaza de los Refinadores. The bronze life-size statue was made by Nicomedes Díaz Piquero (1974). Don Juan is wearing typical 17th century clothing.

Other beautiful elements in the square are the trees, and Casa para Luis Prieto building, built between 1915 and 1919 by architect Aníbal González, with a spectacular corner balcony under a chamfered hollow resting on two columns.
