Monumento a los enamorados, Memorial monument in Campo Santo de los Mártires, Córdoba, Spain
The Monument to the Lovers features four columns supporting a small temple structure with a pedestal displaying two touching hands sculpted by Pablo Yusti Conejo.
Inaugurated in 1971, this memorial commemorates the complicated relationship between Ibn Zaydun, an 11th-century poet, and Princess Wallada, daughter of an Umayyad caliph.
The monument displays inscriptions of love poems in Spanish and Arabic, representing the literary traditions that flourished in medieval Córdoba.
Located at Calle Tomás Conde 12, the memorial stands within the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Córdoba's historic center, accessible throughout the year.
The marble pedestal contains two touching hands that symbolize the connection between Ibn Zaydun and Wallada before their relationship ended in exile and hostility.
