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]
