A dance monument in Spain

Learn about the Monument a la Sardana in Spain, a symbol of the traditional Catalan dance and part of the town's rich cultural heritage.

The Monument a la Sardana is situated in el Masnou, Maresme, Spain and is included in the Inventari del Patrimoni Arquitectònic de Catalunya. Inaugurated in 1975, the monument is a rotllana made of granite with a menhir at its center, surrounded by six iron figures that represent dancers. The central pillar displays the ancient coat of arms of el Masnou and at its base reads 'MASNOU A LA SARDANA / 6 IX 1975'. The dancers are placed in a landscaped terrace, and the back wall displays the coats of arms of the four provinces of Catalonia.
