The **Monument to the Constitution of 1812** soars in Cádiz, Spain's Plaza de España. Erected in 1912, it commemorates the centennial of the Constitution of 1812, a key document in Spanish history. Construction was completed in 1929. The monument symbolizes the brief span this constitution held power, from 1812 to 1814, and again from 1820 to 1823. Despite its brevity, the Constitution of 1812 made a profound impact on nationalism and liberalism, not just in Spain, but across Western Europe and the Americas.
