The Zulo, Bronze monument at Plaza Del Puerto, Cartagena, Spain
The Zulo depicts a large naked figure in a crouched position, measuring 19.5 feet tall and weighing two tons at the harbor entrance.
Created by sculptor Victor Ochoa and unveiled in April 2009, this monument stands as a memorial to victims of the 2004 Madrid terrorist attacks.
The seated figure with head between knees represents human vulnerability and speaks to broader social discussions about violence in contemporary society.
Located near the port entrance in Cartagena, visitors can examine the bronze sculpture details from multiple angles throughout the day.
The monumental figure carries intense emotional weight through its physical posture, channeling collective grief into a tangible form.
