🗽🔥🌎🌴🌆 This ever-burning beacon of both welcome and hope continues to light up Downtown Miami. The Torch of Friendship has always felt symbolic to me — almost like Miami and the Gateway to Latin America’s own Statue of Liberty. A proud, steady reminder of unity, connection, and the warm embrace this city offers to people from across the Americas.

The Torch of Friendship in Bayfront Park is a highly symbolic piece of public art and monument. Its shape resembles an upraised torch, representing light and hope.

Love a good statue with fire. And i love the significance of peace across America's especially now , during trying times! Definitely worth a walk through.

Judging by the inscription on the left side it must be dedicated to the memory of JFK. Lots of beggars and homeless at night. Just nearby stands a monument of Juan De Ponce - Spanish discoverer of Florida. Shame on Google Map that its not listed on G Maps.
