 | The Villa de Branciforte was a hybrid community populated by soldier-settlers and established to colonize and defend Alta California against Russia, England, and France. |
 | Branciforte demonstrated his devotion to the throne by commissioning, in 1796, of a large equestrian statue of King Carlos, executed in bronze by the preeminent sculptor Manuel Tolsa, and erected in the Plaza de Armas. |
 | Branciforte's principal assets as viceroy were his cordial relationship with Godoy, his ostentatious allegiance to the throne and the Virgin of Guadalupe, his military acumen, and his willingness to assert his authority. |
