Statue and columns are put up on diverse occasions; they can mostly be found in the Park of the Statues north of downtown. A tooltip indicates the occasion this particular statue was raised for. Most statues come in three versions and are awarded according to the ranking position (in a tournament, for example). Statues also increase the value of the city (see The Contest Between Cities).
