The three walls are arranged in parallel and separated, leaving a 3-meter-wide passage between the walls. One of the walls has a perforated metal plate with a light point.

The Lluís Companys Linear Park was created in 1988, named after the president who proclaimed the Catalan state on October 6, 1934. During the German occupation, Lluís Companys was surrendered to the Spanish state, tried, imprisoned, and died shot on October 15, 1940 at the Montjuic Castle in Barcelona.
