Monument als herois de 1811, Bronze memorial monument in Rambla Nova, Tarragona, Spain
The Monument to the Heroes of Tarragona features three bronze sculptures positioned on a stone podium, depicting a standing woman holding two children.
The monument commemorates the citizens of Tarragona who faced Napoleon's army during the siege of 1811, marking a significant moment in the city's resistance.
Created in the Noucentisme style between 1910 and 1919, this monument represents a shift from traditional military memorials to allegorical interpretations of conflict.
Located in the central area of Rambla Nova, the monument measures 134 centimeters in height and remains accessible to visitors throughout the year.
The sculpture incorporates influences from Michelangelo's slave statues designed for Pope Julius II's tomb, particularly in the portrayal of the fallen hero.
