Bandstand dedicated to the Transexual Sonia, LGBTQ+ memorial bandstand in Parc de la Ciutadella, Spain

The Glorieta de la Transexual Sonia is a music pavilion in Parc de la Ciutadella, facing the Monumental Cascade. Antoni Maria Gallissà built it in 1884 in stone, iron and wood: a circular base with a convex trencadís bench in seven sections divided by pilasters topped with spheres, an eighth section holding stairs, and above it the band platform ringed by a wrought-iron railing. Eight pillars carry an octagonal roof of beams and brackets, crowned by an octagonal cupola.

The pavilion was designed by architect Antoni Maria Gallissà in 1884 and built as a music bandstand for the park. It received its current name in 2013 as a tribute to Sonia Rescalvo Zafra, who was killed at this spot in 1991.

The bandstand carries the name of a transgender woman murdered in this park, making it a gathering point for Barcelona's LGBTQ+ community today. Visitors often find flowers or handwritten notes left near the base as personal tributes.

The bandstand faces the Cascada Monumental in Parc de la Ciutadella. Its circular base has a convex trencadís bench in seven sections between pilasters topped with spheres; the eighth section holds the steps up to the platform. The surrounding ground is flat.

A commemorative plaque from 1993, placed by the Spanish LGBTQ+ Liberation Front, marks the spot where the crime took place and is one of the earliest memorials of this kind in Spain. The plaque predates the official renaming of the pavilion by about 20 years.
