Lampadaire de la place Royale
Lampadaire de la place Royale, Modernist streetlight in Gothic Quarter, Spain
The lampadaire de la place Royale features ornate wrought ironwork with a central pillar adorned by intertwined snakes and the helmet of Mercury.
Antoni Gaudí designed this street lighting system in 1879 as one of his first architectural projects after receiving his professional certification.
The six-armed bronze and wrought iron lantern exemplifies the integration of functional urban elements with artistic expression in Catalan modernism.
The lampadaire stands at coordinates 41.3802° N, 2.17515° E within Place Royale, near numerous restaurants and shops in central Barcelona.
The design incorporates Roman mythology through the representation of Mercury's caduceus, where two serpents wrap around the central column.
