A huge new bronze statue has appeared on the waterfront at Cartagena. It shows a man with his head downcast and his knees raised up. The statue was only installed this month and it is a striking addition to the city´s modern street art.
The statue is in memory of the victims of terrorism and it was sculpted by Victor Ochoa. Spain has suffered badly from terrorism, with the ETA group murdering in the cause of Basque independence and the terrible train station bombings in Madrid by other terrorists.
Now this giant statue shows that the victims of violence are not forgotten.
