5.0Last Post ceremony(2.676 reviews) - Amazing Points of Interest & Landmarks • Monuments & Statues
No words can describe this experience. It is so moving, so emotional, it’s simply amazing. This performance happens every single night of the year. Get there early if you want to watch the performance, however just hearing it without seeing the people involved is magical. Highly recommended.See more..
4.0Brabo's Monument(350 reviews) - love this striking fountain Tuesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent < 1 hour Monuments & Statues
loved this fountain, and even more when we learned the story behind it. basically Brabo has destroyed the giant who has been terrorizing common folk. the fountain is interesting to view, with a severed head, different creatures, and a lady appearing to be throwing up because of the water spurting out of her mouth. we also liked the rough rocks surrounding the base. fantastic spot for pictures in a gorgeous square.See more..
