The World Trade Center Memorial website

For three decades, this sculpture stood in the plaza
of the World Trade Center. Entitled "The Sphere."
it was conceived by artist Fritz Koenig as a symbol
of world peace. It was damaged during the tragic
events of September 11, 2001, but endures as an icon
of hope and the indestructible spirit of this country.
The Sphere was placed here on March 11, 2002 as
a temporary memorial to all who lost their lives in
the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center.

This eternal flame was ignited on September 11, 2002
in honor of all those who were lost. Their spirit and
sacrifice will never be forgotten.
