11M Victims Monument
It's placed right in front of Atocha Station; The 11M monument is there to remember the victims of terrorism. Made with glass bricks (the biggest ever made) it has 11m and it's the work of FAM architects. In the interior of the monument an 'amorph' dome shows many of the spontaneous messages that people left (in many languages) in the days and months after the 11M/2004...

This is a fascinating shot!
It must be enormous.
c'est surprenant et vraiment impressionnant, on a l'impression de se perdre dans un puits sans fond.
it is really surprising and impressive, the impression of being lost in a bottomless pit.
I like this shot. The building must be very interesting and you picture leaves to the viewer a lot of mystery about its essence.
I want to but I cannot figure this out. Would you give us another view sometime? It is fascinating!!!
Isso não conheço eu!

Like Virginia I would love to see more of this monument to have a better idea of the Whole.
This photo is really well done and the center looks like an eye...
Wow! An amazing shot and an awesome structure!
very elegant! I believe the victims deserve such a beautiful monument. I hope that their souls find peace.
That was such an awful attack. This monument is beautiful, both physically and as a memorial. Fantastic shot!
This is a captivating picture. It draws me in. Like Virginia, I'd love to see another view so I can understand the monument's shape and size.
What an amazing perspective... just fascinating.
A fascinating photo of this impressive monument!!
So beautiful and so sad!
I never heard about it before, thanks for posting!
oh thank you so much for posting this up! it's hard to believe that it happened, as everyone is using the metro like nothing happened. I'm sure this monument will remind them of 11M. I saw the monument from outside, but the inside is fantastic. Thank you.
Oh my! How heartbreaking and how beautiful. Please show us more.
Fascinating. Jaw-dropping. By far my faovurite shot from you. =D
An honor to see this tribute. Let us never forget.
I feel fine, exactly like in a nest.
And yet, we'll never be safe from danger...
Very interesting. I can't imagine the size. I love your angle here.
what a beautiful monument. it always amazes me how artists create these memorials so we never forget. it is so important.
I like how you chose to photograph this, it makes me feel like part of the experience, of seeing it in person.
That is an incredible monument, I'd love to see it.
You should make a collection of all the stations.. some of them are absolutely gorgeous. (just a suggestion ;0) )
