Monuments and sculptures

Onades (Waves), Andreu Alfaro

Onades (Waves), Andreu Alfaro

These waves extend a welcome and bid farewell to those arriving in or leaving the city by sea. They decorate one end of the Plaça del Carbó, the entrance to the harbour breakwater. The work impresses us with its sheer size and flexible forms.
Peix (Fish), Frank Gehry

Peix (Fish), Frank Gehry

sculpture by the architect Frank Gehry, who won the Pritzker Prize in 1989, has become one of the symbols of post-Olympic Barcelona and looks as if it is bobbing along on the waters of the Mediterranean. The sunlight is reflected in the scales of this sculpture that presides over the waterfront of the Olympic Marina and Barcelona"s beaches.
Pla de l'Os

Pla de l'Os

In Barcelona, the ground can be as artistic as the sky. And Joan Miró transforms walking, the act of stepping on a surface, into an unforgettable experience. Thousands of people walk over Joan Miró"s pavement mosaic in the centre of Barcelona"s Rambla. It goes unnoticed by some, others stop to look at the characteristic colours used by the Barcelona-born artist. However, few people know that an important Rambla landmark once stood opposite this site: the famous Boqueria gate.
Poblenou Cementery

Poblenou Cementery

If you want to find out why a cemetery can also be a work of art, a visit to the one in Poblenou will answer your question. It has two distinct areas: the original cemetery and the part that was extended in the second half of the 19th century. There are nooks and corners of great artistic and historic interest and special poignancy throughout the cemetery grounds.
Poema visual (Visual Poem), Joan Brossa

Poema visual (Visual Poem), Joan Brossa

The letters "A", whole or broken; punctuation marks scattered on the grass. These elements create a curious, attractive ensemble that can be read like a vast corporeal poem. An urban sculpture which seeks to foster reflection on a journey from birth to death.
