Parque San Antonio

After the Pablo Escobar tour, I went to Parque San Antonio to view the Birds of Peace sculptures. In 1995, a bomb was detonated at the base of the original statue during an outdoor concert, killing 30 and injuring many others. Botero refused to allow the original damaged statue to be removed. Instead, he donated a second identical statue to be placed next to the original. The two statues - one damaged, one undamaged - stand side by side. The names of the bombing victims are displayed on a plaque at the base of the original statue.
