Monument to work, Bronze sculpture group in Vigo, Spain.
Monument to Work is a bronze sculpture group showing seven figures of sailors hauling fishing nets, representing the maritime labor force of the region. The figures are arranged with a fountain system integrated into the composition.
Created in 1991 by sculptor Ramon Conde, it marks the start of Gran Via. This period was when the city chose to highlight its maritime heritage more prominently in public spaces.
The figures portray fishermen at work, showing how deeply maritime labor shaped life in this city and its identity. Walking around it, you sense how important the sea and fishing remain to local residents.
It sits at a central location and works as an easy reference point at the start of Gran Via. The spot is walkable and makes a good starting point for exploring the city center.
The bronze figures work both as art and as an actual fountain with running water. This dual purpose makes it more than just something to look at while passing through.
