The destroyed city is an image that Ossip Zadkine made following the bombing of Rotterdam. It was unveiled on May 15, 1953 and is located on Plein 1940, on the Leuvehaven, next to the Maritime Museum in Rotterdam. The statue is a national monument. source: nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_verwoeste_stad

The statue is made of bronze and represents a human figure without a heart, symbolizing the heart of Rotterdam that was lost in the fire that broke out after the bombing of the Maas bridges, where the Dutch marines held off the German attackers.
