Bandstand dedicated to the Transexual Sonia, LGBTQ+ memorial bandstand in Parc de la Ciutadella, Spain
The octagonal bandstand features a circular base with decorative iron railings and eight pillars supporting a dome-shaped roof in the park.
The structure, designed by Antoni Maria Gallissà in 1884, was renamed in 2013 to honor Sonia Rescalvo Zafra, who was killed there in 1991.
The memorial serves as an annual gathering point for LGBTQ+ rights demonstrations and commemorative events within the Barcelona community.
The bandstand stands near the Monumental Cascade, accessible through multiple entrances of Parc de la Ciutadella in the Sant Pere district.
A commemorative plaque installed in 1993 by the Spanish LGBTQ+ Liberation Front marks this location as a symbol against discrimination.
