La Mano, Granite sculpture at Katarinavägen, Sweden.
The massive granite hand sculpture stands prominently on Katarinavägen in Stockholm, extending upward in a powerful vertical gesture against the sky.
Created in 1977 by sculptor Liss Eriksson, La Mano commemorates 500 Swedish volunteers who fought in the Spanish Civil War between 1936 and 1938.
The monument includes a stone map of Spain with battle locations and an inscription honoring the fallen soldiers of the Thälmann Battalion.
Located at coordinates 59.317845, 18.0811679 in the Södermalm district, the sculpture remains accessible through public transportation and walking paths.
A smaller bronze version of La Mano exists in Skövde, making the granite monument in Stockholm the primary installation of this commemorative artwork.
