Breogán, Granite monument at Tower of Hercules Park, Spain.
The Breogán monument stands 24 meters tall, constructed entirely from white granite in the Tower of Hercules sculptural park.
The sculpture, created by artist Xosé Cid Menor, was installed in 1995 to commemorate the historical connection between Galicia and Ireland.
The monument depicts the legendary Celtic chief Breogán, a central figure in Galician mythology and a symbol of the region's cultural identity.
The monument is part of a trail featuring 14 sculptures in the park, freely accessible throughout the year with ample space for visitors.
From the monument's location, according to legend, Breogán's son first spotted the Irish coast, initiating the Milesians' migration.
