Along Maryport's South Quay stands the impressive Alauna Aura, an elliptical steel sculpture that illuminates the city's past—literally. With cutouts that reference its Roman roots (Alauna), maritime heritage, local industries, and iconic figures like Fletcher Christian, the artwork forms a visual timeline in metal. By day, the shapes cast dynamic shadows, while at night, the sculpture is bathed in a changing light show that brings history to life.
