El Zuno
We have visited Cartagena several times and always pay a visit to this superb statue located by the port area and is surrounded by other art close by. It was put there for a reminder to every visitor about Terrorism and the loss of life and injuries caused by those that don’t get their own way. Spain has had a long history of this by a group calling themselves ETA. Unfortunately the reminder is somewhat lost by many tourists having their picture taken by El Zuno’s private area.

Monumental Sculpture
This huge sculpture is nearly 5 metres high. It's a naked man curled up with his head between his knees and a tormented look on his face. It's the city's homage to victims of terrorism by the sculptor, Victor Ochoa. It's a very moving piece and well worth a look. It's located in the port close to the Tourist Information centre.

Sad but beautiful...
This bronze man sat hunched over is a statue to remember everyone killed during terrorist attacks. There is a plaque explaining this. It’s very poignant and dignified. Beautiful piece of art and thought provoking. He is situated in the port area of Cartagena.
