Monument to tolerance, Public memorial at Muelle de la Sal, Seville, Spain
Monument to Tolerance sits along the Guadalquivir River and is made from gray concrete with abstract geometric shapes that define its form. The structure looks straightforward and thoughtful, without overwhelming the eye.
The memorial was inaugurated in 1992 during Seville's Expo by President Chaim Herzog. It marked 500 years since the expulsion of Jews from Spain in 1492.
The sculpture carries words by Elie Wiesel that honor the voices of different faith communities in Seville. These words invite visitors to reflect on diversity and living together.
The memorial is located near Puente de Isabel II and is freely accessible during the day. The riverside path offers a pleasant walk and a place to sit with river views.
The geometric shapes of the memorial shift in appearance as sunlight moves across its surface throughout the day. Depending on the time and weather, the work looks entirely different each time you visit.
