Escultures de la Plaça de Catalunya, Public sculpture ensemble in Plaça de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain

The Escultures de la Plaça de Catalunya is a collection of 28 marble and stone sculptures arranged along the balustrades and in niches throughout Barcelona's central square. These works form an open-air artistic display that can be seen directly within the city center.

The square was inaugurated by Alfonso XIII on 2 November 1927 without its sculptural decoration. A public competition that year drew 90 proposals; the allegories of Wisdom and Labour by the Oslé brothers and three provincial figures were chosen. The templet designed by Francesc Nebot was never built, and eight of its sixteen statues were never placed.

The sculptures depict figures representing Catalan traditions and classical allegories in the Noucentisme style, created by different artists. Walking around the square, visitors can experience how these works express local identity through their forms and placement.

The square is centrally located and easily accessible by several metro and bus lines, making it convenient to reach. Visitors can walk around at any time to view the sculptures at their own pace.

The planned columned pavilion by Francesc Nebot was never built, so eight of the sixteen stone statues intended for it were never placed; the rest went onto the terrace that replaced it. Four others by Arnau, Llimona, Casanovas and Tarrach stand at the entrance wall of the Palau Reial de Pedralbes.
