A Ferida (English: The Wound) is a sculpture located in the municipality of Muxía, A Coruña, Spain. Made by sculptor, Alberto Bañuelos Fournier [nl], it faces the Atlantic Ocean, outside the entrance of the Virxe da Barca sanctuary.[1]

The granite sculpture stands more than 11 metres (36 ft) in height and weighs 400 tons. The granite came from O Porriño, and it is the largest sculpture in Galicia and Spain.[1]

Background

The work was donated by Seguros Aegon to the Muxián council as a tribute to the volunteers who came to help the Galician people when the Prestige oil spill occurred on November 13, 2002. It was inaugurated on September 12, 2003.[1]
