MONUMENTO A LA REINA MARÍA CRISTINA
Dirección: Calle de Felipe IV, s/n.
Situado frente al Casón del Buen Retiro, está dedicado a la reina María Cristina de Borbón, cuarta mujer de Fernando VII, y madre de Isabel II. A la muerte de
Fernando VII esta mujer asumió la regencia de España hasta 1840 y durante su mandato España abandonó definitivamente las formas de gobierno del Antiguo
Régimen para ir convirtiéndose en una nación constitucional y liberal.

Consta de dos cuerpos; estatua y pedestal. En cuanto a la estatua, está fundida en bronce y representa a la reina gobernadora recogiendo su manto con la mano
izquierda, mientras que con la derecha sostiene un ejemplar del Estatuto Real – promulgado en 1834, fue el primer marco jurídico que reguló la vida política en
el naciente Estado liberal-. El pedestal está realizado en mármol y sobre un cuerpo saliente se ve la imagen de la Historia presidiendo una inscripción que
conmemora algunos hechos importantes que se produjeron durante su mandato: Conservatorio de Música. Decreto de amnistía. Ministerio de Fomento.
Estamento 1834. Ciencias, Artes y Oficios. Convenio de Vergara. Universidades del Reino.
Fue inaugurado en 1893.
Maria Christina of Bourbon, Princess of the Two Sicilies, Queen of Spain (Maria Cristina Ferdinanda of the Two Sicilies branch of the Royal House of Bourbon) (April 27, 1806–August 22, 1878) was Queen Consort of Spain (1829 to 1833) and Queen Regent of Spain (1833 to 1840).
Marriage and Regency
Maria Christina was the fourth wife of King Ferdinand VII of Spain (Fernando in Spanish) (1784-1833, king 1813-1833) and mother of and regent for Queen Isabella II of Spain (Isabel in Spanish) (1830-1904, queen 1833-1868). Originally titled Her Royal Highness, Princess Maria Christina of Naples and Sicily, on December 18, 1816 her title was changed to Princess of the Two Sicilies when her father changed the name of his kingdom. Her Spanish name was María Cristina de las Dos Sicilias.
Born in Palermo, Sicily, Italy on April 27, 1806, she was the daughter of King Francis I (In Italian, Francesco I) of the Two Sicilies by his second wife, Maria Isabella of Spain. She also descended from the Austrian Habsburgs as her grandmother was Queen Marie Caroline and her grand-aunt was Marie Antoinette.
Maria Christina married King Ferdinand VII of Spain on December 11, 1829 in Madrid. Ferdinand was her uncle by birth and by marriage. Like her mother Maria Isabella, Ferdinand was a child of King Charles IV of Spain (Carlos IV in Spanish) and his wife, Princess Maria Luisa of Bourbon-Parma.
Further, Ferdinand's first wife Princess Maria Antonietta of Naples and Sicily (1784-1806) was the sister of Maria Christina's father, King Francis.
After Maria Antonietta's death, Ferdinand married Infanta Doña Isabel of Portugal (1787-1819).
When Isabel died he married Princess Josepha of Saxony (1803-1829).
Of these three marriages, only that to Isabel resulted in a live child, but the Infanta Doña María Luísa Isabel, died on January 9, 1818 at the age of four months. With Queen Josepha's death on May 27, 1829, Ferdinand's desperation to father an heir for his crown resulted in his fourth marriage just seven months later.
The new queen, Maria Christina, rapidly gave birth to two daughters, Isabella (the future Queen Isabella, 1830–1904) and the Infanta Doña María Luísa Fernanda (1832-1897). When Ferdinand died on September 29, 1833, Maria Christina became regent for their daughter Isabella. Isabella's claim to the throne was disputed by her uncle, the Infante Don Carlos María Isidro Benito, Count de Molina, who claimed that his brother Ferdinand had unlawfully changed the succession law to permit females to inherit the crown (see Carlism). Some supporters of Don Carlos went so far as to claim that Ferdinand had actually bequeathed the crown to his brother but that Maria Christina had suppressed that fact. It was further alleged that the Queen had signed her dead husband's name to a decree recognizing Isabella as heir.
Carlos' attempt to seize power resulted in the Carlist Wars. Despite considerable support for Carlos from the Roman Catholic Church and conservative elements in Spain, Maria Christina successfully retained the throne for her daughter. The Carlist Wars grew from a dispute about the succession into a dispute over the future of Spain. The supporters of Maria Christina and her daughter favored a liberal constitution and progressive social policies. In contrast, Carlos' supporters (called Carlists) favored a return to traditional society and an absolute monarchy. Ultimately, the army's loyalty to Isabella II proved the decisive issue in the war.
