Ramón Castilla y Marquesado is an extremely interesting historical figure. In 1817, he began his military career as part of the Spanish forces while fighting against the liberators during the War of Independence. After being a POW, he switched loyalties and fought against the Spaniards during the Battle of Ayacucho. Marshall Ramón Castilla went on to become the president of Peru four times. After his death in 1867, his body was buried in a crypt at the Pantheon of Heroes. This bronze statue by David Lozano was erected in 1915 at La Merced Square along Jirón De La Unión.
