A bronze statue of a Spanish conqusitador sits atop a large pedestal overlooking the tidal marshes of the Matanzas River. This statue is situated within a byway scenic overlook area and includes a number of visitors that have stopped to take in the sites and enjoy a sunny day. This Spanish warrior reflects Florida exploration by Europeans, its battles against the English, and Spain's control of the region.
