On the Rambla there is a monument that introduces us to the local acrobatic tradition - castellers. This monument glorifies the brave builders of living pyramids. The favorite entertainment of the inhabitants of Tarragona can be seen in reality during the main holiday of the city - the festival of Saint Tecla (Festes de Santa Tecla de Tarragona). It takes place at the end of September.
The author of the monument is a modern sculptor Francesc Angles and depicts a pyramid consisting of 219 full-sized human figures. An interesting fact is that images of specific personalities and famous Catalans, including artists Joan Miro and Pablo Picasso, are encrypted among the figures. And in one of the figures, the sculptor depicted himself.
