The statue of Viriato is a sculptural work by Eduardo Barrón González from Zamora located in the Plaza de Viriato in the city of Zamora.

Represents in bronze the chief-shepherd Viriato who faced the Roman consuls.

It was erected at the end of 1903, in the square known as Cánovas del Castillo and which popularly ended up being called Viriato.

It is a sculptural group that has an erect statue, a granite pedestal and a gate. On the pedestal you can read the legend Terror romanorum attributed to Orosio ('Terror of the Romans').

Twenty years passed from its execution to its placement in the square.

In 1902 Eduardo Barrón began negotiations from Madrid, so that the statue was finally granted to the Provincial Council of Zamora and became a public monument, in gratitude to the pensioner who subsidized the Provincial Council in Rome. Initially the city showed no interest. Finally, the current square in front of the Palace of the Counts of Alba y Aliste was chosen. The granite stone pedestal was moved from the quarries of the Zamora town of Torrefrades pushed in two pieces by a cart pulled by oxen. The ram that rests in its lower part dates from this period when it was installed in the middle of the square. It was placed at the end of 1903, without making an official opening, some passers-by who passed discovered it on January 12, 1904.

In 1971 the monument was moved from the center of the square, and placed in one of its corners.
