The Monument to the 20th Century is the work of Ulrich Rückriem. It’s a contemporary art project located in an open field at the foot of the Sierra de Guara, consisting of 20 stone monoliths inserted into the ground, forming a geometric composition.
Immerse yourself in the darkness, approach the monument, let your eyes acclimate, and enjoy the Milky Way stretching from the monument to us.
You can also observe the “teapot” of the Sagittarius constellation, which spreads the Milky Way over our zenith and marks the mountains of the Sierra de Guara.
