Monumento à Paz Mundial, Peace monument in Bosque dos Buritis, Goiania, Brazil
The World Peace Monument stands five meters tall, constructed from cement weighing fifty tons, shaped like an hourglass with glass compartments containing soil samples.
The monument was inaugurated in September 1988 during the Second National Symposium for Peace in the Nuclear Era, following the cesium-137 incident in Goiania.
The structure displays the quote 'The Earth is one country and mankind its citizens' by Bahaullah, featuring Peace inscriptions in twenty-eight languages.
Located near the upper lake of Bosque dos Buritis park, the monument contains glass cases with soil from 101 different nations across all continents.
The central section includes vertical colored stripes in yellow, blue, white, green, and red, separating compartments that store earth samples from global contributors.
