 Monumento Nacional a la Bandera, Argentina
It’s tempting to call this colossal homage to the Argentine flag a monumental failure or even a shrine to kitsch, as the outline of architect Angel Guido’s design represents a ship on whose symbolic mast is a 78-meter tower on its bow.

Across Avenida Belgrano, the Parque Nacional de la Bandera stretches several blocks along the floodplain in an area that still houses part of Rosario’s port facilities.
