Standing 56-foot (17 m) tall and weighing 50-ton Vulcan is the worlds largest cast iron statue. Vulcan is the god of the fire and forge and stands on a 124-foot pedestal. He was designed by Italian sculptor Giuseppe Moretti and made for the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis, Missouri. He was moved to Birmingham in 1936 and has been used for advertising items. Now he sits high up Red Mountain towering above downtown Birmingham in Vulcan Park.
