The Cathar Knights is a monumental sculpture in cement, made by Jacques Tissinier and installed in 1980 on the edge of the Deux Mers motorway in Narbonne, France. It includes three "knights" in cement 13 meters high each which "evokes the Cathar memory.
Catharism was a Christian dualist or Gnostic revival movement that thrived in some areas of Southern Europe, particularly northern Italy and what is now southern France, between the 12th and 14th centuries. The followers were known as Cathars and are now mainly remembered for a prolonged period of persecution by the Catholic Church which did not recognise their belief as truly Christian.

Fun fact, you can go inside and up into the "heads". Not so fun fact, they're dirty as fuck and full of trash.
