Pretty and interesting sculpture in bronze on this pretty square with outdoor bars and restaurants.
Depicts the abduction of the Sabine women from Roman mythology. Rome was a strong small city state and wanted women to make the city bigger and stronger. One day they they stole 30+ women from the neighboring Sabinians. Wars ensued but Rome came out ahead.
The statue is free to watch and visit.
