Post here pictures of nice/interesting statues from your country.

(Remember that statues are sculptures of a certain size representing people, animals or both together) :)

---

I inaugurate the thread with these four statues in the Font del Centenari, a fountain in Tarragona's Rambla or central boulevard with four statues built in 1954 to represent the four cardinal points and races of the world:

The Leaf (in my town)

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f9/Leaf_Boat,_Castle_Square,_Swansea,_Wales.JPG


The glass leaf sculpture by local artist Amber Hiscott is the centrepiece of Castle Square and was unveiled on the 27th November 1996. The inscription around the pool edge comes from Dylan Thomas's Rain cuts the place we tread and reads, "We sail a boat upon the path, paddle with leaves, down an ecstatic line of light."

Sigismund's Column, Warsaw

It is one of Warsaw's most famous landmarks and one of the oldest secular monuments in northern Europe. The column and statue commemorate King Sigismund III Vasa, who in 1596 had moved Poland's capital from Kraków to Warsaw. The column exists since 1644, and can be found on the Castles Square.

Sigismund's Column has a height of 22 meters. Tourists like the monument as the starting point for their Warsaw explorations.
