La Mano, Granite memorial sculpture in Södermalm, Stockholm, Sweden

La Mano is a granite hand sculpture on Katarinavägen in Stockholm that extends upward with an open palm. The work includes a stone plaque with text and historical details about those it honors.

La Mano was completed in 1977 by sculptor Liss Eriksson together with Göran Lange, who also made the stone map of Spain beside it. It commemorates the Swedes who died in the Spanish Civil War, most of them in the Thälmann Battalion. The pedestal text was written by Sixten Rogeby, himself a volunteer in Spain.

The hand serves as a memorial to Swedish volunteers who participated in events across Spain during a specific period. The gesture and name reflect solidarity with people affected by conflict in that country.

The sculpture is located on Katarinavägen in the Södermalm district and is easily accessible on foot. The site is well-served by public transit and clearly visible from street level for visitors passing through.

The inscription on the pedestal was written by Sixten Rogeby, himself a Swedish volunteer in Spain. The stone map of Spain beside the statue, made by Göran Lange, has the main battles of the civil war engraved on it, and those battles are named in the quote.
