Plaza St. Martin

This is funny, back in the day, many years ago they contracted an artist in Europe to make this monument of a woman with a flame on her head, to represent justice and gave the artist instructions.

The artist was not a native Spanish speaker. The word in Spanish for flame is “llama” in Peru. The word “llama” also has other meanings depending on context. One such meaning is the famous animal of Peru, the “llama” 🦙 .

So when the completed monument arrived, it was a woman with a tiny llama 🦙 (the animal) on her head.

Hilarious! 😂 The people kept it. It still represents justice.Leer más
