This monument is easy to miss as it is so covered with graffiti that it looks really poor, dirty and tasteless. Although it has a meaning, since it is not maintained it really looks bad.

A Graffiti covered Bric-a-Brac 'monument, spelling NEWBORN ? A little bit naff and poor show for Europe's Newcomers!

The monument is covered in graffiti and is next to a run down shopping mall. Noisy traffic, no sense of history or occasion. The row of ATMs next to it is more interesting!
