Font de Ceres, Plaça de Sant Jordi
Highlight • Monument
The beginning of its history began outside the current city, the first source was located in the old Vila de Gràcia, when it had not yet been annexed by Barcelona. Its location was on the old Camí de Jesús, which was later urbanized with the current name of Passeig de Gràcia, changing the old dirt road into a promenade that made it much more passable especially in winter .
In 1824 the Marquis of Campo Sagrado (Captain General of Catalonia), authorized the project to develop the path and which consisted of making a 42 meter wide promenade and strengthening the firm, a year after completion it was installed Gas lighting in the promenade. The promenade was officially opened in 1827, this was the starting point, for important men to try to set up their private homes, in single-family houses with gardens.
The transformation of the area made it necessary to decorate the promenade to give it a more sumptuous touch, so the authorities decided to install a fountain with a central sculpture at the intersection with Provence street, so they put in contact with the Iguala sculptor Celdoni Guixà i Alsina (who also made the plaque that adorned the balcony of the town hall with the title "Plaça de la Constitució" and which was removed in 2013). The fountain was inaugurated on July 28, 1830.

Columbus Monument (Monumento a Colón), Barcelona
Highlight • Monument
The monument was built in the context of the works to improve the Barcelona coastline carried out on the occasion of the Universal Exhibition of Barcelona in 1888. Inaugurated on June 1, 1888, in full exhibition, it immediately became one of the most characteristic icons from the city. Inside the column there is an elevator that allows you to go up to the hemisphere located under the feet of the statue, from where you can see the city.
This work is registered as a Cultural Asset of Local Interest (BCIL) in the Catalan Cultural Heritage Inventory with code 08019/859.
