Atlanta from the Ashes, Bronze monument in Woodruff Park, Downtown Atlanta, US
The monument features a woman lifted by a phoenix, both cast in bronze, with the woman partially unclothed and gazing toward the sky.
The monument, built in 1969, moved from its first location near Rich's Department Store to Woodruff Park in 1995 after restoration work.
The sculpture represents Atlanta's transformation and rebuilding after the destruction during the Civil War through Egyptian mythology symbolism.
Visitors can access the monument in Woodruff Park at coordinates 33°45′16.72″N 84°23′21.37″W, with surrounding pathways for viewing.
Italian artisans Gamba Quirino and Feruccia Vezzoni crafted the sculpture based on James Siegler's design, incorporating gilt details on the phoenix.
