Menhirs for Peace, Outdoor sculpture installation in A Coruña, Spain

Menhirs for Peace is a set of twelve stone sculptures by Manolo Paz on the Campo da Rata in A Coruña, next to the Tower of Hercules. The granite pieces stand on the open ground of this site, which was a key location during the Spanish Civil War.

The twelve stone pieces by Galician sculptor Manolo Paz stand on the Campo da Rata, a site linked to the Spanish Civil War, beside the Tower of Hercules in A Coruña. The sources consulted give no date of creation, so the year 1994 and the prehistoric-heritage framing are not retained here.

The twelve stone pieces stand on the Campo da Rata, a site tied to the Spanish Civil War, beside the Tower of Hercules. The name Menhirs for Peace sets the work against that memory, and the figures are among the most visited sculptures in A Coruña.

The installation sits directly on Paseo dos Menhires with unobstructed access to the waterfront and clear views of the Tower of Hercules lighthouse. The location is easy to reach on foot and works well as part of a leisurely coastal walk.

The site holds twelve stone pieces, not ten, on the Campo da Rata, a hilltop tied to the Spanish Civil War. The group stands beside the Tower of Hercules, and the whole set sits only about 12 metres above sea level, roughly 1.6 km from central A Coruña.
