Amor Sculpture, located in Sister Cities Park at 18th Street and the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia, features the iconic artwork "AMOR" created by renowned artist Robert Indiana. Installed in 2016, this vibrant polychrome aluminum sculpture serves as a companion piece to Indiana's famous "LOVE" sculpture, reflecting the artist's desire to connect with the changing demographics of the United States.

The installation of "AMOR" was made possible through the generosity of various organizations, including the City of Philadelphia and the Morgan Art Foundation. As a permanent part of the city's public art collection, "AMOR" symbolizes love in both Spanish and Latin, resonating with the themes of community and connection, particularly during the World Meeting of Families and Pope Francis's visit to the U.S.
