Escultura per a Europa, Steel sculpture at Pont d'en Vidal roundabout, Girona, Spain
Escultura per a Europa is a large steel structure at the intersection of Emili Grahit Street and Passeig d'Olot. Its polished surface reflects light and creates changing patterns throughout the day.
The work was first installed in 1984 at Plaza Europa and was part of an artistic initiative of that era. It was later moved to its current location to make way for other infrastructure projects.
This work is part of a city-wide campaign that brought contemporary art into public spaces. Visitors can see how modern design integrates into the city's daily life.
The location at a busy intersection means the work is best viewed from multiple angles. It is worth walking around the structure several times to appreciate all aspects of its geometric form.
The spiral design lets light dance differently on the surfaces depending on the time of day and angle of sunlight. This constantly changing optical effect makes each visit a different experience.
