Wall of the Barcelona Airport, Ceramic mural in Terminal 2, El Prat de Llobregat, Spain.

The wall in Terminal 2 extends across a large surface and consists of thousands of individual colored ceramic pieces. The pieces are arranged in geometric patterns and symbols that together form a visual mosaic.

The work was created in 1970 and served as an important artistic gift for the airport. It comes from artists known for their work in connecting ceramics with modernist design.

The wall displays shapes from Catalan artistic traditions such as stars, birds, and suns presented in abstract forms. As you move through the terminal, you recognize these familiar symbols that reflect the region's artistic language.

You can view the wall while arriving or departing in Terminal 2, without needing to make a special detour. It is accessible from the areas that passengers normally pass through.

The artists created the individual ceramic pieces specifically for this wall, so each element has its own place in the overall composition. This craftwork care makes the installation an example of contemporary art applied to public spaces.
