Farola de Las Tres Gracias

The Lamp of the Three Graces (Spanish: Farola de Las Tres Gracias) is a sculpted lamppost next to San Martín Square, in the historic centre of Lima, Peru. It is based on a marble work of Germain Pilon, a French Renaissance sculptor, where the Three Graces are holding the heart of Henry II of France.

The sculpture, which has a total height of 4.75 metres (15.6 ft), was declared part of the Cultural Heritage of the Nation in 2018.
