Why Newborn Monument matters
This giant sculpture was unveiled in 2008 and has become a symbol of the capital. Each year it is repainted with a new design by artists and the public, so no two visits look quite the same. It's a favourite selfie spot and a good place to start a walk through the city.
Talking points
- It was unveiled in 2008.
- The design is repainted every year.
- A favourite spot for photos.
