Aragon Guide

The Justicia Monument was erected in 1904 as result of the collaboration between the architect Felix Navarro and the sculptor Francisco Vidal. It represents Don Juan V de Lanuza, last justicia (Supreme Judge of Aragon), executed by order of Philip II and the lost of the Aragonese institution, not recovered until 1987. The topic has clear precedents in the painting of history of artists such as Unceta, Lopez del Plano or Barbasan; there are also literary references in the play by Marcos Zapata.
The Justicia Monument was paid by the Provincial Council, the City council and by subscription of individuals. On 20 December each year the Aragonese political institutions offer commemorative wreaths, in memory of the execution of the last Magistrate in 1591.
