The Face of Barcelona, Public art sculpture in Gothic Quarter, Spain.

The Miss Barcelona sculpture stands 8 meters tall and features bold primary colors that contrast with the medieval architecture of the surrounding streets.

Roy Lichtenstein created this sculpture for the urban renewal initiatives of 1992, marking a significant change in Barcelona's approach to public installations.

The sculpture demonstrates Barcelona's commitment to modern art by incorporating Lichtenstein's recognizable comic book style into the medieval district.

Visitors can find the sculpture by walking through the Gothic Quarter's narrow streets, near metro stations Liceu on Line 3 or Jaume I on Line 4.

The sculpture's head design combines geometric patterns with primary colors, creating a visual interruption among the Gothic Quarter's stone buildings.
