Mosaic del Pla de l'Os, Circular mosaic at La Rambla, Barcelona, Spain

The Mosaic del Pla de l'Os contains 6000 quadrangular tiles with geometric patterns in black, white, red, blue, and yellow colors along La Rambla street.

Joan Miró and ceramist Joan Gardy-Artigas designed this terrazzo mosaic in 1976 as one of three artistic works to welcome visitors into Barcelona.

The mosaic represents Barcelona's commitment to public art through its placement in the Gothic Quarter, where thousands of pedestrians walk across it daily.

Located near Mercado de la Boqueria in the historic Ciutat Vella district, visitors can find the circular mosaic embedded in the central walkway.

The mosaic incorporates crushed colored glass within white cement mortar to create its distinct patterns and raised square elements on each tile surface.
