Escultures de la Plaça de Catalunya
Escultures de la Plaça de Catalunya, Public sculpture ensemble in Plaça de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain
Twenty-eight marble and stone sculptures stand along the balustrades and niches of the square, forming an open-air artistic display in Barcelona's center.
The sculptural collection was commissioned between 1927 and 1929 for the International Exhibition of Barcelona, marking a period of urban development.
Different artists including Eusebi Arnau, Joan Borrell, and Frederic Marès created works representing Catalan identity and classical allegories in the Noucentisme style.
Visitors can walk around the square to observe the sculptures at any time, with the central location making it accessible from multiple metro and bus lines.
The statue known as 'The Goddess' sparked debates about public nudity in art when it was temporarily removed from its original position.
