Breogán, Granite monument at Tower of Hercules Park, Spain.
Breogán is a 24-meter-tall monument carved from white granite in the Tower of Hercules sculptural park. The sculpture stands as part of a collection of 14 artworks arranged throughout the park grounds.
The sculpture was created by artist Xosé Cid Menor and installed in 1995 to honor the historical connections between Galicia and Ireland. The installation marked a broader cultural effort to recognize Celtic roots in the region.
The monument depicts the legendary Celtic chief Breogán, a central figure in Galician mythology and a symbol of the region's cultural identity. He represents the connection between Galicia and Ireland that runs deep in local stories and traditions.
The site is freely accessible throughout the year with plenty of space for visitors to explore the surroundings. Walking paths through the park allow you to view all the artworks at your own pace.
According to legend, this was the spot where the chief's son first glimpsed the Irish coast, sparking the Milesians' journey of settlement. This mythological connection links the location to a pivotal moment in Celtic history.
