Contemporary art sculptures and sculptures by César Montaña (Vegadeo)
- Vegadeo
- Sculpture
The town of Vegadeo has the peculiarity of being crossed by two rivers: the Monjardín and the Suarón, which have twelve bridges that cross them (six each). Taking advantage of this circumstance, the idea was that visitors to Vegadeo could get to know the town center by crossing these bridges, and enriching the visit with a sculpture on each of them.

This set is restored and rehabilitated in its integrity for the understanding of the iron industry.
