L'Acollidora is a bronze statue created by Eduard Arranz-Bravo in 1985. It represents a woman with windblown hair and a round platter. L'Acollidora is one of the symbols of the city of L'Hospitalet de Llobregat.
The statue stands on Rambla Just Oliveras between Carrer de Barcelona and Carrer d'Enric Prat de la Riba. The sculpture is installed on a quadrangular pillar in the center of a flower bed, with a bronze plaque at its base.
According to the inscription on the sculpture, it represents the integrating character of L'Hospitalet and its citizens. The figure of the woman, styled like a Latin goddess, symbolizes human stages of generosity, creation, and preservation.
