The statue named Pillars of Hercules, located in the Strait of Gibraltar, which separates Europe from Africa and connects the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean.

The Pillars of Hercules at Ceuta is a statue in the Spanish town of Ceuta, a Spanish enclave in the extreme north of the African continent, on the strait of Gibraltar.

In ancient times, the strait of Gibraltar, which connects the Mediterranean Sea with the Atlantic Ocean, was known as The Pillars of Hercules. The Pillars of Hercules, also known as the Gates of Hercules, are a legendary geological feature associated with the ancient Mediterranean world. According to Greek mythology and ancient historical accounts, these pillars were said to mark the limits of the known world and represent a significant maritime boundary.

The statue of the Pillars of Hercules

The statue depicting The Pillars of Hercules at Ceuta consists of two huge bronze pillars, held apart by Hercules. The statue is the work of Ceuta artist Ginés Serrán Pagán. The statue is 7 meters high and each pillar weighs 4 tons. They are currently the largest classical Greek mythology bronze sculptures in the world.

Mythological geography

The Pillars of Hercules is a phrase that has been used since ancient times to describe the two promontories that flank the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea – the Rock of Gibraltar on the European side and Jebel Musa in Morocco on the African side. However, there is another location that is also associated with the Pillars of Hercules – the city of Ceuta in North Africa.
