The unique artistic bench "Ave triumphator!" is dedicated to the Olympian Leon Štukelj. It features casts of his gymnastic rings, his signature, and the Olympic salute "Ave triumphator!"
It is a replica and has the same placement as the bench in the park where the Olympic gymnast Leon Štukelj used to sit, read, and even exercise. Therefore, it represents a special personified monument while also allowing park visitors to use it as a gymnastics tool.
