Topos V, Public sculpture in Gothic Quarter, Barcelona, Spain
The cast iron sculpture Topos V stands at Plaça del Rei, featuring geometric shapes with two closed sides and two open sides facing the square.
Created in 1986 by Eduardo Chillida, the sculpture was acquired by Barcelona municipality after its exhibition at the Joan Miró Foundation that same year.
The design contains semi-circular openings that mirror the medieval arches of nearby structures like Saló del Tinell and incorporates a letter B for Barcelona.
Located at the entrance of Plaça del Rei, visitors can reach the sculpture by taking Metro Line 4 to Jaume I station or several bus routes.
The sculpture measures 2.10 × 2.37 × 1.70 metres and creates a deliberate contrast between modern art and the medieval architecture of the Gothic Quarter.
