Statue Saint-Louis, Bronze memorial statue in Aigues-Mortes, France.
The Statue Saint-Louis stands at the center of a square in Aigues-Mortes, portraying King Louis IX in traditional royal attire with crown and scepter.
The monument, created by sculptor James Pradier in 1845, commemorates King Louis IX who launched two crusades from the port of Aigues-Mortes in the 13th century.
This statue represents the strong connection between French monarchy and religious devotion, as Louis IX became the only French king declared a saint.
Visitors can access the statue through wheelchair-friendly paths and join guided tours that explain its significance within the medieval fortified town.
The statue results from a public subscription initiated by the municipal council, making it a community-funded tribute to their city's medieval heritage.
