Six stylized figures of iron are joined in a circle to represent the Sardana. The monument is composed of these silhouettes arranged around a central pillar.
The monument was inaugurated on September 6, 1975. The structure serves a practical purpose by connecting the carrer del Pintor Domènech Farré with the avinguda de Cusí i Fortunet. As you move between these two streets, a set of stairs helps you navigate the change in elevation.
At the heart of the arrangement stands a granite menhir bearing the old coat of arms of El Masnou. The base carries the inscription MASNOU A LA SARDANA / 6 IX 1975. Directly behind the dancers, a granite wall displays the coats of arms of the four Catalan provinces.
You will find this group of dancers nestled within a garden area. The monument is integrated into the space that unifies the streets through the stairwell.
