El Peix d'Or, Steel sculpture at Port Olímpic, Barcelona, Spain.
The 35-meter-tall metallic fish sculpture features curved steel plates that reflect sunlight across the waterfront at Port Olímpic promenade.
Frank Gehry created this monumental structure for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics as part of the coastal area renovation project.
The fish shape represents Barcelona's connection to the Mediterranean Sea, marking the transition between the city and its maritime heritage.
Visitors can observe the sculpture without entrance fees while walking along Passeig Marítim, with metro station Ciutadella-Vila Olímpica nearby.
The stainless steel structure changes its appearance throughout the day as light reflects off its surface, creating different metallic patterns.
