Bastile site marked by monuments and historic sieges
A long column marks the Bastile site in Paris past, with notes on its fortifications, imprisonment, and sieges from 1789 to 1871, and Lafayette’s gift of its key to Washington. The piece moves through Ras Es Safsaf and Mt Sinai legends, then catalogues Meridian Stone in Hammerfest, Maclean’s Cross at Iona, gold discovery at Ballarat, English landfall in Barbados, and Christ of the Andes as a peace monument.
