Tras Julia

This life-size bronze statue by the sculptor from Madrid, Antonio Santín Benito, which pays tribute to Julia, a young university student who, according to the legend, attended  the Central University dressed up as a man, as only men were allowed to study there, can be found close to the Noviciado metro station in Malasaña.

The statue was erected on 2 April 2003 on the exterior façade of the Bauer Palace, where the former university was located and which is now home to the Higher Singing School. The statue represents a young girl carrying books in her arms, leaning against the wall.
