The “Rotonda del Mar” depicts a series of high-backed bronze chairs that mix fantastic human features and nautical imagery. Facing all of the chairs is a bench with two giant human ears.
This installation is not only interesting to look at, but it is also a great spot to take a break, sit down, and watch the sea.
“La Rotonda del Mar” has been displayed on the Malecon since 1997. City historian, Juan Manuel Encamacion, said that the public’s interaction with the fantasy piece not only creates a physical connection, but an intellectual and imaginative connection as well.
