The statue of Charles V is one of the most iconic features of the inner courtyard of the Puerta Nueva de Bisagra, the monumental northern entrance to Toledo's historic center.
The work you see today at the Puerta de Bisagra is a 1958 reproduction of the famous Renaissance sculpture "Charles V and the Fury" (or Charles V Subduing the Protestant/Turkish Fury), originally created by the Milanese sculptor Leone Leoni and completed by his son Pompeo Leoni between 1551 and 1564.
