Spain (monument). Unusual monuments in Spain which human body is a monument in Spain

The unusualness and originality of the country can manifest in different ways. So the unusualness of Spain consists also in the fact that there are completely amazing monuments. It would seem that there is a lot of things on white light, but not every thing or an event to put a monument. But the Spaniards think differently.

Therefore, any tourist in Spain, well, at least a couple of unusual monuments need to see.

We offer the following:

- Monument to Jena, euro and dollar in Madrid. Speaks about the "thoughtfulness and calculation" of the Spaniards - the 3 most "weighty" global currencies are chosen. But the Spaniards also do not forget their former currency: there are three monuments in Spain, the monetary unit of the euro predecessor.

- Monument to the fiction writer Jul will return to Vigo. The monument found reflections some moments of the book "20,000 kilometers under water": Vigo city, sunken gold treasures and giant squids. By the way, the treasures in the Vigo Bay are still looking for.

- "Magic Crane" in Cadis. The monument is associated with optical deception. Understand how the crane hangs in the air and there is a powerful water flow from it - it is impossible, it turns out that the water pipe is hidden inside the depth water flow.

- Monument to bear and strawberry tree in Madrid on Puerto del Sol Square. For Madrid, this beast, busy "Sweet Doom": eating berries, became a symbol of the city. This explains the emergence of the monument.

- Monument to the conductor on the coast of the Costa Blanca. There is nothing unusual in the title of the monument, but it is necessary to see the sculpture of the bronze hand on the pedestal, aspiring upwards, and holding the conductor wand between large and index fingers. The inscription on the monument is translated in the sense that "Music will be eternal." It is difficult to disagree with this.

- Bronze Giant Cat in Barcelona. Sculptor Batero (Venezuela) presented a cat in the city. The cat long "walked" in Barcelona, \u200b\u200band finally settled at the address: Rambla de Raval Avenue. The dimensions are impressive - 2m x 5m.

- "Woman and Bird" in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bin Miro Park. There are such monuments, looking at which you immediately and do not understand who - there is someone where a woman, and where is the bird. But Barcelonians know exactly, or maybe not?

- Sabatini Garden in Madrid. A completely unusual monument. You will have to remember that Picasso and Salvator Dali - by nationality, the Spaniards. Without such knowledge, it is somehow difficult to adequately perceive such a monument.

- Monument on the shore of Lake Baendia, 50 km east of Madrid. Why skull and why bare stones are a question for deep reflection.

Apparently, creating all these unusual monuments, people strive to break away from everyday life, and see something extraordinary. Spain and Spaniards - in the first rows of such people.
