The statue, the work of Spanish sculptress, Ció Abellí, was erected in August 1998 with a ceremony attended by many townspeople and guests, amid much accolade in the Spanish media. It sees the actress immortalised for eternity as ‘Pandora’, from the acclaimed and intensely romantic 1951 film, ‘Pandora and the Flying Dutchman’, which was filmed in Tossa de Mar.
