European version of Mount Rushmore

Andorra is getting good a creating unique events and locations to attract visitors.  We have the Caldea Spa, the summer time free Cirque du Soleil show, and most recently the art/structure of the rock of Quer viewpoint.

I still think that Andorra should specialise in something; like the Swiss are synonymous with clocks, watches and banking... but that's the subject of a different blog post.

As an additional "attractor" we should commission an artist to carve out a face into a mountain in the same way that Mount Rushmore was.  This would be the "European version" of this famous work of art.


There are lots of locations suitable, but there is one particular rock face that I walk by very often on my way home. It is overlooking the village of Erts.


This is a large, must be 20/30 metres high face - that to my untrained eye, does look suitable.  You can't really get the full effect from my photo - try Google Maps to see it better.

But who should feature on the rock face?


Well Charlemagne of course!  The "father" of Andorra - he features in the National Anthem, and is deeply ingrained in the Andorran consciousness.
