In the heart of Vilanova i la Geltrú resides the Monument a Josep Tomàs Ventosa, an asset recognized as a Bé Cultural d'Interès Local. The monument consists of a base with a square plan that decreases in section and rests on a set of steps, a pedestal with two superimposed plaques with inscriptions, and the statue of Josep Tomàs Ventosa.
The steps consist of a rectangular platform with the shorter sides forming an elevated circular sector crowned by two balls and two square steps. The statue of Josep Tomàs Ventosa features the coats of arms of Vilanova and Barcelona at the feet, with the Vilanova coat of arms at the front and back, and the Barcelona coat of arms on the sides.
The plaque at the front bears the inscription: "Este monumento erigido por subscripción se inauguró el dia 26 de febrero de 1883".
