Forget statues of royalty

Forget statues of royalty

It's time for something different.

A place where we're all celebrated.

A place where everyone can be part of history.

Because everyone matters.

The next great monument will have your name on it.

LEAVE YOUR MARK

LEAVE YOUR MARK

When you participate in Alora, you contribute a brick. It's your brick so you can leave whatever you want on it. Here are some ideas from other people:

WHERE IS IT?
YOU DECIDE

WHERE IS IT?
YOU DECIDE

This project is about celebrating normal people.
We believe so much in the power of people that we are going to let everyone who participates decide where Alora should be built.

Alora's location will be determined by the location whose people contribute most to the project.

Stories Selected For Bricks

Every story becomes a brick to build Alora. We will collect all the stories digitally and assign them to bricks before we begin construction of Alora.

2025 & 2026

Site Selection & Planning

Famous structures like the Eiffel Tower, Statue of Liberty, and Christ the Redeemer become global symbols of their cities, drawing millions of tourists annually who seek to experience these icons firsthand. We'll select a site that aligns with the project to be the home of Alora, the monument to hope for the 21st century.
