This busy roundabout is named after Antonio Canovas del Castillo, one of the leading statesman of 19th-century Spain, who was assassinated in 1897. Dominating the plaza is the Fuente de Neptuno-a fountain with a statue depicting Neptune in his chariot, being pulled by two horses. The statue was designed in 1780 by Ventura Rodriguez as part of Carlos III' scheme to beautify eastern Madrid.
