not gigantic but still:
This statue depicts Saint Bartholomew, an early Christian martyr who was allegedly skinned alive. If you look closely, you’ll notice that’s not a robe that he’s holding. It's actually his dissected skin hanging around him. This statute is by Marco d’Agrate, c.1562. pic.twitter.com/wyPnQqbXTu— Lindsey Fitzharris (@DrLindseyFitz) October 5, 2019

Yerevan has lots of fun public art.
I saw the GWK from a distance this week. It’s so chunky it’s probably not that impressive until you’re closer. It kind of looks like a weirdly shaped tower block.

I don't think of myself as having a fear of heights in general, but aerial views like that creep me out worse than looking up at it would do.
Like this one of the Statue of Liberty:
