WIND TOWER (Catalonia Today / Thusday, April 26 – 2007)

In Trragona, Antoni Mas is the artist and specifically this work “Torre dels Vents” is situated in one of Tarragone’s prominent locations in Rambla Nova and Plaça de les Corts Catalanes.

At night there are 48 projectors to light.

It’s a big sculpture, but at the end of the “Torre dels Vents”. This sculpture was built in 1889 dedicated to Josep-Pau Virgili i Santromà, the name is “Aci Virgili”.

And also in 1954 a big fountain was built for the centery with 250 figures representing typical “castells”. Finally there is a sculpture of “Lluis Companys” from 2005.

Well, It’s really an artistic square.
