Monument to Francesc Macià, Bronze monument in Plaça de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain

The Monument to Francesc Macià stands at the southern end of Plaça de Catalunya, facing the Rambla. Its travertine pedestal is built of stone blocks in broken joint, while the upper part is an inverted concrete staircase: the first three steps, fitted into the pedestal, mark Macià's three years as president, and the rest end abruptly to symbolize the country's unfinished future. A separate bronze bust of Macià, a replica of Josep Clarà's 1932 portrait, faces the monument.

The monument commemorates Francesc Macià, who served as President of the Generalitat de Catalunya from 1931 to 1933 and pushed for Catalan autonomy. His leadership represented an important period for self-governance in the region during the early Spanish Republic.

The monument's pedestal carries graffiti-like inscriptions of names, dates and places tied to Macià, and the rear holds an iron shield of Catalonia with a quote from his 14 December 1932 speech to Catalan deputies. The large letters on top read "Catalunya a Francesc Macià".

The monument sits on Plaça de Catalunya, a central square served by multiple metro lines, railway stations, and bus routes for easy access. This central location makes it simple to incorporate into any exploration of Barcelona's main areas.

The monument's pedestal is made of travertine blocks laid in broken joint, while the upper part is concrete shaped like an inverted staircase. The first three steps, fitted into the pedestal, represent Macià's three years as president of the Generalitat; the rest end abruptly, symbolizing the country's future built day by day. On the back, an iron shield of Catalonia and a quote from Macià's 1932 speech to Catalan deputies are inscribed.
