The Motherland Calls statue in Volgograd
At the foot of the statue of Jose Francisco de San Martin Matorras on Lima’s Plaza San Martin stands one of the #world’s most charming statues, that of Madre Patria. A representation of liberty, she has a fierce, determined face, flowing robes and … a tiny llama on her head. She was supposed to wear a votive flame, in Spanish a llama, but during the commissioning of the statue, the instructions got lost in translation. The result is one of the best examples of the power of words.

This goal was mentioned in the Feature List:
The giant Motherland Calls statue in Volgograd, Russia, stands as a powerful symbol of the Soviet Union's victory in the Battle of Stalingrad during World War II. Towering at 85 meters, it is one of the tallest statues in the world and offers a striking view over the city. Visitors can explore the nearby Hall of Military Glory, stroll through the solemn Alley of Heroes, and visit the Eternal Flame, all of which serve to commemorate the sacrifices made during the war. The statue and its surroundings provide a profound and reflective experience for those interested in history and monumental art.
