The sculptural group entitled The Torch Bearers was made by the American sculptor Anna Hyatt Huntington and donated to the city of Madrid as an acknowledgement of the Spanish civilizing push through centuries. It shows a dying man giving a torch (symbol of knowledge and previous generation) to a young man on a horse ready to run, representing, thus, the transmission of Western culture and civilization through History. The sculpture is located at the core of Complutense University. For years, the torch has been stolen and restituted several times.
