Statues and Monuments

Statues and monuments are structures or sculptures created to honor, commemorate, or symbolize important people, events, or cultural values. Statues are typically three-dimensional representations of individuals or objects, often life-sized or larger-than-life, displayed in public spaces. Monuments can include statues but also encompass other forms like memorials or historic landmarks designed to preserve collective memory. They serve as physical reminders of history, achievements, or beliefs, fostering community identity and reflection. Both play a vital role in cultural heritage, helping societies remember and celebrate their significant pasts.
