Monumento a la Batalla de Rande
The group of sculptures is also known as Monumento a los Galeones de Rande (Rande Galleons Monument) or Las Anclas (The Anchors). It is formed by three anchors that belonged to the dozens of ships that sunk in the Ría de Vigo during the Battle of Rande (1702).
It was done by the architect Desiderio Pernas, who recalls the battle where the Anglo-Dutch army fought a Spanish fleet escorted by another of French origin.
Legend has it that the treasures that were aboard the Spanish ships sunk alongside them in the deep waters of the ría.
