Island of Sculptures connects with Pontevedra Campus
Description
The island, which has been declared a protected natural area, is almost a kilometre long and has an elongated shape. It has an area of rushes, meadows, a main path and secondary paths. Three wooden bridges cross the inner canal and a cable-stayed footbridge over the Lérez River connects it to the Paseo del Lérez. On the island there are 12 granite sculptures by international artists.
On the island come the tides and it is used by many birds as a breeding ground. It is a protected area declared LIC (place of community interest). Located near the Pontevedra Campus, the island is also used by many people as a place for walking or sports training.
