Very impressive monument! I loved your comment. It made me laugh.

Pleased to have been of service, Eunice!

Superbe image avec ce monument qui domine un beau paysage !
Bonne journée. Amitiés

Impressive monument and what a view one has from there.

Sehr schön hast du dieses Denkmal gezeigt lieber Andy :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Tag,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Impressive, Andy !

An interesting looking structure..............it and the surrounding large rocks stands out well in the surrounding landscape. A nicely composed and taken shot Andy (yay.......I got your name right)!

The people at the base of the monument look like a hoody-wearing pair of young lads. As to the "public subscriptions" I would guess that they were probably taken directly out of the miners pay!

You may be right, Keith. His Baronship might well have been a sterling geezer but I retain my suspicions about the whole thing, as I can see you do too!

Wonderful view from there, Andy. I think that guy is wearing a hoodie.

You may be right, Jenny. I've been in Spain these past dozen years or so and fashion there never extended to hoodies, so I was a little bit puzzled!
Many thanks!

The ungrateful chap with the strange headgear is attempting to remain anonymous so as to avoid paying a "subscription" to the Baron's estate!!

That's a nicely surreal take on it, Scott!

HMMMMMM !!

A superb picture and information Andy. I do wonder how people back then could treat their workers with such distain, but I hope there is a grain of truth in the information you give us.

spectaculat !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Impressive. Reminds me of a quite similar one we have on northern frontier with Galicia…
