Escultura eqüestre de Borrell II

The four-and-a-half-meter-tall statue depicts Count Borrell II mounted on horseback, created by sculptor Josep Maria Subirachs in 1986.

The sculpture commemorates Count Borrell II of Barcelona, who granted the town charter to Cardona on April 23, 986.

This monument represents a defining moment in Catalan history when municipal rights were first established through the granting of population charter.

The statue stands at an elevation of 497 meters above sea level and remains accessible throughout the year in Plaza de la Fira.

The statue utilizes travertine stone sourced specifically from quarries in Almeria, measuring three meters for the figure atop a one-and-a-half-meter base.
