The Eye That Cries, Memorial stone in Campo de Marte, Lima, Peru
The Eye That Cries features a central granite monolith with flowing water, surrounded by eleven concentric circles of stones bearing names of conflict victims.
The memorial, unveiled in 2005, commemorates 70,000 victims of Peru's internal armed conflict between government forces and insurgent groups from 1980 to 2000.
Each stone in the circular path displays individual names, ages, and dates, creating a physical record of loss during Peru's period of political violence.
Located at geographical coordinates -12.0673304, -77.0398467, the memorial occupies 1500 square meters within Campo de Marte park in Lima's Jesús María district.
The central black stone, discovered near a pre-Columbian cemetery, releases a continuous stream of water representing eternal tears for the lost lives.
