Gate of the Catalan Countries, Stainless steel monument in Salses-le-Château, France
The Gate of the Catalan Countries rises as a stainless steel structure next to the highway, marking the northern entrance of the Catalan territories in France.
The monument faced several interruptions during its development until its official inauguration on September 28, 2003, under the guidance of sculptor Emili Armengol.
From an aerial perspective, the gate's design incorporates the shape of a sickle, referencing the Catalan anthem Els Segadors and its agricultural heritage.
The location coordinates at 42.854282 latitude and 2.937665 longitude allow visitors to find this structure visible from the nearby road network.
The gate functions both as a physical landmark and an architectural statement, representing the unity between French and Catalan territories in this region.
