744 CO - San Agustín Archaeological Park (1995)

Brief Description

"The largest group of religious monuments and megalithic sculptures in South America stands in a wild, spectacular landscape. Gods and mythical animals are skilfully represented in styles ranging from abstract to realist. These works of art display the creativity and imagination of a northern Andean culture that flourished from the 1st to the 8th century."

圣奥古斯丁考古公园

"在南美洲一片原始壮观的风景区内矗立着最大的宗教建筑和巨石雕塑群。精湛地雕刻了众神和传说中的动物,从抽象主义到现实主义,风格各异。这些艺术杰作显示了1至8世纪盛极一时的北安第斯文化的创造力和想象力。"
