Monument als castellers

Monument als castellers, Bronze monument on Rambla Nova, Tarragona, Spain.

The Monument als Castellers is an eleven-metre bronze sculpture on Rambla Nova depicting a four-of-eight tower at the moment it is loaded, with the enxaneta raising a hand. It weighs twelve tonnes and comprises 222 figures: 219 in the tower itself, plus three musicians (two grallers and a timbaler) and the head of the group on either side.

The Monument als castellers was inaugurated on 29 May 1999. Its sculptor, Francesc Anglès i Garcia, linked the work to Santa Coloma de Queralt, where the plaster model used for the bronze casting stood for a time in front of the Castell dels Comtes.

The sculpture incorporates faces of notable Catalans such as Pau Casals, Pablo Picasso, Antoni Gaudí, and Joan Miró within its bronze figures. This choice reflects how deeply the tradition connects to the region's artistic and cultural identity.

The monument stands on Rambla Nova, where the 11-metre tower and its 222 figures can be circled on foot. The bronze group includes three musicians and the head of the colla on either side of the tower, so walk around to see them. The figures are detailed at eye level, including the faces in the pinya.

The plaster model used to make the bronze casting mould stood for a time in front of the Castle of the Counts of Santa Coloma de Queralt, reflecting the sculptor's ties to that town. Among the 219 figures in the tower, faces of local figures from Santa Coloma de Queralt can be picked out, including the historian Salvador Palau Rafecas, known as "el Galo".
