Llimona's El Ángel Exterminador in Comillas

Situated on the remnants of an ancient church from the 15th century, this modernist masterpiece is located in a cemetery in the municipio de Cantabria (España). The sculpture is known as El Ángel Exterminador, or El ángel guardián, and its subject is the biblical figure Abadón or Abaddon.

Abadón, which translates to "destruction" or "perdition", is identified in the sources as the «Ángel del abismo sin fondo». He is described as one who will reign over the plagues of locusts that will devastate humanity.

In other identifications, the figure is also known as Apolión or the anticristo. The sculpture stands as a work of modernist art by Josep Llimona, created in 1895.
