![The African Renaissance Monument, completed in 2010 stands 49 meters tall. depicting a young man, guiding his wife and holding his small child facing into the west. The infant points ahead to indicate the glorious future, while the woman extends her arm behind to acknowledge the troubled past.

This bronze statue stands on top of a 100 meter hill overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. It is the tallest statue in Africa and is over one and-a-half times the height of the Statue of Liberty.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/1024/56305df6-ff02-47f8-81d3-9305fd40edbd.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh)
