Caracola, A Coruña, Steel sculpture in Torre Park, A Coruña, Spain.
The Caracola rises ten meters high in the park, featuring a helical shape that represents a seashell made of weather-resistant steel.
Sculptor Moncho Amigo created this work in 1994, which was replaced with an identical replica in 2023 after weather damage.
The sculpture belongs to an outdoor museum extending across 47 hectares through Torre Peninsula, Punta Herminia, and surrounding areas.
The city council invested 39,725 euros to create the new version of the sculpture, using higher quality materials than the original.
Local sailors establish a connection with this sculpture, greeting it when departing for fishing grounds in the Gran Sol.
