Anna Livia, Bronze monument in Croppies' Acre Memorial Park near Heuston Station, Dublin, Ireland.
Anna Livia features a female figure cast in bronze representing the River Liffey, with flowing garments and posture that emphasize motion and fluidity through detailed craftsmanship by artist Éamonn O'Doherty.
Created in 1988 to commemorate Dublin's millennium celebrations, the sculpture was originally positioned on O'Connell Street before being relocated to its current location in Croppies' Acre Memorial Park in 2011.
The monument depicts Anna Livia Plurabelle from James Joyce's novel Finnegans Wake, personifying the River Liffey and symbolizing Dublin's connection to the waterway that flows through the city center.
Located within walking distance of Dublin Heuston railway station and accessible via public transport, the monument sits in a park with mature trees and seating areas for visitor contemplation.
Originally nicknamed the 'Floozie in the Jacuzzi' by Dublin residents due to its fountain design, the sculpture gained local fame for its playful representation of the city's river goddess.
