Noblesa del temps, Bronze sculpture at Plaza de la Rotonda, Andorra
The seven-meter-tall bronze monument features a melting clock draped over a tree trunk, accompanied by two figures representing time reflection.
Created between 1977 and 1982 by Salvador Dalí, the sculpture remained in private collections until its installation in Andorra la Vella during August 2010.
The melting clock motif continues Dalí's exploration of time fluidity, connecting this sculpture to his earlier painting The Persistence of Memory.
Located in the central Plaza de la Rotonda, the sculpture stands near multiple hotels, restaurants, and shopping areas in downtown Andorra la Vella.
The sculpture combines an angel in contemplation and a woman with a shawl gazing upward, representing different perspectives on temporal consciousness.
