La Antorcha de la Amistad, better known as "The Torch of Friendship" is located in San Antonio Texas near 'The Alamo" and the "River Walk. Its a piece of art designed by the Mexican artist Sebastian in 2002. The sculpture was constructed in Mexico and shipped to San Antonio in six pieces. It's a gift from the Association of Mexico Entrepreneurs symbolizing the relationship between Mexico and the United States. It stands about 65 feet and weights about 50 tons. The sculpture is said to stand on the spot where captured prisoners were executed during and after the Battle of the Alamo. This is a piece of art I observe on my visit to San Antonio a month ago.
