Escultura d'Anís del Mono, Bronze sculpture near Pont del Petroli, Badalona, Spain
The 200-kilogram bronze statue depicts a monkey holding an anise bottle, with facial features resembling Charles Darwin, standing at the entrance of Pont del Petroli.
Artist Susana Ruiz created this sculpture in 2012 to honor Anis del Mono, a local anise liquor brand founded by the Bosch brothers in 1870.
The sculpture represents the connection between Badalona's industrial heritage and the Anis del Mono factory, which continues production in the city.
Visitors can access the sculpture from the maritime promenade, where a concrete platform provides space for viewing and photography.
The statue underwent restoration in 2016 after vandalism, receiving reinforcements while maintaining its original artistic elements.
