Mausoleu de Jaume I, Art Nouveau mausoleum in Tarragona, Spain
The mausoleum features a porphyry vessel adorned with mosaics, flanked by two sculptures representing an angel and a female figure at each end.
The monument was commissioned by the Monuments Commission of Tarragona in 1906 and designed by architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner as a tribute to King James I.
The structure combines architectural elements of Art Nouveau and Catalan modernism, displaying intricate designs through stone, ceramic, and mosaic craftsmanship.
Visitors can locate the mausoleum at Plaça de la Font in central Tarragona, where it stands as a designated Cultural Asset of Local Interest.
The base of the mausoleum includes cylindrical columns that appear to float on carved waves, creating an illusion of movement beneath the grand canopy.
