This features a long story. Short version - the subject was born as an illegitimate child for King Carlos V and his mistress. He was born in Regensburg and raised in Austria and went on to be a noted military leader - particularly in a famous military battle in which the Christians were outnumbered by the Turks.
Thus, a statue. And since the Spanish financed that war, he became Don Juan.
