Parotet, Contemporary steel sculpture in Valencia, Spain.
The Parotet stands 46 meters tall at Plaza de Europa roundabout, constructed from carbon steel and finished with blue paint coating.
The sculpture was installed in 2003 to mark the 125th anniversary of Bancaja Social Work through the Caja de Ahorros Foundation of Valencia.
Created by Valencia artist Miquel Navarro, the structure combines both insect and warrior characteristics in its modern architectural design.
Located near the City of Arts and Sciences, this 100-tonne structure serves as a meeting point and orientation landmark for visitors.
The sculpture employs specialized metalworking techniques including boilermaking, shot peening, and cold zinc plating in its construction.
