As Duas Marias, Bronze statue in Alameda Park, Santiago de Compostela, Spain.
This bronze sculpture depicts two life-sized figures of women walking together, representing sisters Maruxa and Coralia Fandiño Ricart.
The Fandiño sisters faced persecution during the Spanish Civil War due to their brothers' involvement in anarchist movements in the 1930s.
Created by sculptor César Lombera in 1994, this artwork commemorates two women who walked through Santiago's streets every day at 2 PM.
The statue stands at the entrance of Alameda Park, allowing visitors to take photographs and read the commemorative plaque installed in 2014.
The sisters maintained their ritual of wearing bright clothing and makeup despite social ostracism, becoming recognized figures in Santiago's community.
