Sited on the Via Francigena pilgrimage trail and located on the edge of the Waldershare Estate opposite the Belvedere, an early 17th-century Palladian folly designed by Lord Burlington. Which was commissioned by the owner of the estate, the Belvedere was never completed, and the Grade 1 structure is currently in a semi-ruinous state.
The Monumenta Roman sculpture is fabricated from salvaged timber that has been recycled from flooring, barrels and even sea groins, which all form an open-framed dome surrounded by an octagonal timber seat, it’s both an object of contemplation in relation to the site and its history, a sculpture that gives 360-degree views of the surrounding landscape to walkers on the North Downs Way National Trail. The piece re-imagines the cupola that was originally intended to go on the roof of the Belvedere. In this sense, the artwork refers to a history of objects and architectural fragments brought back from foreign travels including the Grand Tour. It also refers to a history of wayside chapels and shrines that populate pilgrimage routes.
