Wieland: tin bronze from Wieland adorns an obelisk in Madrid

When a modern obelisk was erected in Madrid in 2009, those responsible put their trust in Wieland's know-how and quality: numerous movable slats made of tin bronze give the monument an unparalleled appearance.
 
Obelisks belong to the oldest cultural assets of mankind. World-famous are those ancient stone pillars, which stand for example on St. Peter's Square in Rome or on the Place de la Concorde in Paris. However, one of the most visually striking and constructively sophisticated obelisks dates from 2009 and is located in the Spanish capital Madrid: the "Obelisco Calatrava".
