Les quatre barres de la senyera catalana, Public art sculpture in La Barceloneta, Spain.

The sculpture consists of four orthogonal columns made of Carrara marble blocks, measuring 50 meters in length along the waterfront of Barcelona.

Ricardo Bofill Leví completed this monumental structure in September 2009, adding a modern interpretation to the centuries-old Catalan flag design.

The four red stripes represented in the sculpture originate from medieval Aragonese royal symbols that later became the foundation of Catalan identity.

Located at coordinates 41.367571, 2.1900107, the installation stands near Hotel W Barcelona and connects with the maritime promenade of La Barceloneta.

Each marble column incorporates a helical rotation that creates diagonal movement patterns while maintaining square bases and tops.
