Connections between sister cities can be expressed in different ways – student exchange programs, touring art exhibits, or in the case of Spokane and its sister city of Cagli, public sculptures on permanent display.

Last fall, Spokane celebrated its newest sister city relationship with Cagli, a town located in the Province of Pesaro and Urbino in the Marche district, with a public unveiling of two sculptures installed in the Sister Cities Connections Garden. The garden is part of Spokane’s Riverfront Park, named in 2020 by National Geographic as one of America’s most beautiful downtown parks.
