La Estatua del Jardin Botanico" is a bizarre classic song by Radio Futura from the 80's "Movida" in Spain. It was a really influential band. Nostalgic.

Tom, have you seen "La Saturnalia". It is a big bronze sculpture composition representing a roman celebration in honour to Saturn, near the central building.
There is a nice story around that sculpture group, since it had been purchased by the State in the early XXth century and then kept hidden in a warehouse due to censorship. If I rememnber well, part of that story is retold on a metal board close to the sculpture. In any case, you will surely manage to get the full story.
