Monumento del Llano Amarillo, Military monument in Ceuta, Spain
The monument comprises a geometrical monolith of 15 meters in height, featuring lateral wings and a curved top, situated on a multi-level staircase near Monte Hacho.
Originally built in 1940 in Ketama Valley, Morocco, the monument was relocated to Ceuta in 1962, requiring complete disassembly and reconstruction of its 2,900 stone blocks.
The monument represents a significant period in Spanish history, designed by architect Francisco Hernanz Martinez with sculptural work by Ceuta artist Bonifacio Lopez Torvizco.
Located along San Amaro Road at the base of Monte Hacho, the monument provides visitors with direct access and clear views of the surrounding coastal area.
The structure weighs 300 tons and incorporates a concrete overlay that now covers specific historical elements in compliance with modern Spanish legislation.
