Barcelona is home to an amazing amount of public art and architecture. As we were touring the city I took a moment to capture this terrifying piece.
This park was built in 1985 by architects Luis Peña Ganchegui, Francesc Rius I Camps, Antón Pagola and Monserrat Ruiz. The park follows a modernist architecture style, and it is located in an Industrial park covering 11 acres near the Barcelona-Santz railroad station.
The Dragon Statue “El Drágon” is made out of cast iron and weighs 150 tons.
I love unusual statues and displays. This one stands out for being especially fierce. What are some of your favorite displays?
