Monument a Josep Anselm Clavé, Bronze monument on Passeig de Sant Joan, Barcelona, Spain.
Monument a Josep Anselm Clavé depicts the composer standing with a raised conductor's baton in his right hand, supported by a stone pedestal. The figure is positioned in a commanding stance atop this substantial base.
The monument was originally erected in 1888 at the Rambla Catalunya intersection and relocated to Passeig de Sant Joan in 1956. This move was part of broader urban changes in Barcelona.
The pedestal displays four harps and ornamental details that reflect Clavé's influence on Catalan music and choral traditions. These symbols show how deeply connected this composer was to the musical life of the region.
The monument stands between Sant Antoni Maria Claret street and Travessera de Gràcia in the Camp d'en Grassot i Gràcia Nova district. It sits along a main boulevard where you can view it while walking through the area.
The stone base features four small buttresses with the name 'Clavé' carved between the two that face Diagonal Avenue. This carved detail is often missed by visitors even though it appears directly on the pedestal.
