Sculpture·Powerful, Reflective, Coastal
Standing tall in the dunes near the mouth of the river, Fisherman’s Daughters is one of Palanga's most evocative landmarks. The three figures officially represent daughters waiting for their father's return from the sea, but they are also widely recognized as a symbol of the three Baltic states looking toward the West during the Soviet era. The site is well-integrated into the coastal landscape with wooden boardwalks and benches, providing a peaceful place to rest. Visitors can explore the history of the region through nearby notice boards, making it more than just a photo opportunity.
