Destruction of Weapons Monument - Costa Rica
Destruction of Weapons Monument, located in La Paz Park, on the south side of Costa Rica. This monument honors the destruction of weapons after the abolition of the army in Costa Rica.
As Miguel Hernandez said:
ante un pueblo de pómulos noblemente dispuestos,
poco valen las armas: les falta voz y frente,
les sobra estruendo y humo (...)
un hombre desarmado siempre es un firme bloque:
Sabe que no es estéril su firmeza, y resiste."
