Menhirs for Peace, Outdoor sculpture installation in A Coruña, Spain
The installation consists of ten tall granite monoliths arranged along the Atlantic Ocean shoreline, each containing square holes to frame different views.
Galician artist Manolo Paz created these stone sculptures in 1994, drawing inspiration from ancient Neolithic standing stones of the Iberian Peninsula.
The stone arrangement represents the connection between generations, with each monolith symbolizing the relationship between parents and their children.
Located along Paseo dos Menhires, the installation offers direct views of both the Atlantic Ocean and the Tower of Hercules lighthouse.
Each granite monolith features strategically carved openings that allow visitors to view the landscape through different perspectives and heights.
