Wounded star, Steel sculpture at Platja de Sant Miquel, Barcelona, Spain
The sculpture consists of four twisted steel and glass cubes stacked vertically, reaching a height of ten meters on the beach sand.
German artist Rebecca Horn created this sculpture in 1992 as part of Barcelona's coastal renovation project preceding the Olympic Games.
The structure represents the former beach bars and seafood stalls that lined the Barceloneta waterfront before the neighborhood's transformation.
Visitors can reach the sculpture by taking metro line 4 to Barceloneta station and walking through the beachfront promenade.
The steel boxes feature large window openings that create different light patterns throughout the day, resembling an abandoned apartment building.
