International Tenerife Memorial March 27, 1977

The International Tenerife Memorial March 27, 1977, erected in memory of the 583 victims of the Tenerife airport disaster, is a monument located on the Mesa Mota on the outskirts of the city of San Cristóbal de La Laguna on the island of Tenerife. This location has views of Los Rodeos airport and even, on clear days, the silhouette of Mount Teide.

The monument was inaugurated on March 27, 2007, in the presence of many relatives of those killed in the accident. It is shaped like a spiral staircase, with steps that connect the earth and sky. The 18-metre-high structure was designed by the Dutch artist Rudi van de Wint.
