The turtle looks longingly at the sea and seems to be thinking about how to get there over the beach... 😉

The sculpture "Bruņurupucis" (The Turtle) in Jūrmala is a popular landmark and symbol of the city. Created in 1995 by Latvian sculptor Jānis Bārda, this bronze turtle stands directly on Majori Beach and symbolizes longevity and permanence. The striking sculpture has become a traditional photo opportunity for visitors, who like to pose next to or on the turtle.

With its robust yet playful design, "Bruņurupucis" attracts tourists and provides a beautiful contrast to the surrounding coastal landscape. The turtle has not only artistic but also cultural significance, as it is part of the local cityscape and the Latvian art scene. Jūrmala places great value on public art, and this sculpture is an excellent example of how art and nature harmoniously coexist in the city.
