The monument is located at the crossroads of the Rambla de Santa Cruz and the avenida de Anaga.

The bronze sculptural group consists of a winged angel (an allegory of the Dragon Rapide, the airplane that transported Franco from the Canary Islands to the African mainland in order to kickstart the 1936 coup d'etat that marked the beginning of the Spanish Civil War) and a "saviour" male figure (representing Franco) standing over the angel while wielding a sword shaped like a Christian cross that points down.

The composition lies on the centre of a near-circular pond with a 30 m maximum diameter.
The backside wall partially enclosing both items reaches a maximum height of 14 m.
A work by Juan de Ávalos, it was unveiled on 17 March 1966.

The monument was vandalised in November 2016, covered in red paint and tagged with a graffiti reading antifascismo ("anti-fascism").
There is an ongoing effort to remove the monument, based on the enforcing of the Law of Historical Memory.
