Sculpture Island Park, Sculpture garden in Pontevedra, Spain.
The Sculpture Island Park spans 70,000 square meters along the Lérez River, featuring granite sculptures integrated into natural surroundings.
The park opened in July 1999 during the Xacobeo Holy Year celebrations with twelve international artists creating permanent installations.
The collection includes works such as Giovanni Anselmo's Sky Shortened and Jenny Holzer's Stone Benches with engraved messages in granite.
The park connects to Pontevedra's historic center through pedestrian paths and offers multiple rest areas for visitors throughout the grounds.
Fernando Casás created The 36 Righteous, depicting burnt tree trunks that reference Hebrew tradition of maintaining balance between life and death.
