The most impressive sculptures in Barcelona are so abstract  you need to search their meaning in Wikipedia.
Catalonia is surrealistic. Dalà could not have chosen a better place to born. This madness is also present in our urban landscape, as you can see in these sculptures in Barcelona. There’s no need to drink absinthe as Picasso used to hallucinate, here a tour through the most bizarre monuments of the Catalan capital.
Miraestels
Their name in English would be Starwatchers and they’re floating In the waters of Barcelona’s ancient port. Robert Llimós designed them in 2005 in honor of those dreamers who find their inspiration in heaven. A touch of originality in Rambla de mar.
Cat
He arrived Barcelona in 1987 but didn’t find his place in the Rambla del Raval until 2003. Although he was expelled from Ciutadella park, LLuis Companys Olympic stadium and Drassanes, he finally conquered the hearts of locals and tourists. It is assumed that if you touch the balls and make a wish, it is granted.
The Bull
In Rambla Catalunya 18 there is a sculpture by Josep Granyer i Giralt that reminds us of Rodin’s Thinker. Nothing to envy the one they have on Wall Street.
The Giraffe
It is also a work by Josep Granyer i Giralt and imitates Antonio Canova’s Venus Victrix. Both sculptures were an initiative of Amics de La Rambla to protect the street from a City Council project that wanted to turn it into an urban artery.
The face of Barcelona
If Barcelona were a woman, what would it be like? Roy Lichtenstein, exponent of North American pop art, answered that question on the occasion of the 1992 Olympic Games. You can see it in the area of ​​the Moll de la Fusta.  If you look closely, it represents a woman with her hair in the wind. The red spots sparkling her face are a tribute to GaudÃ.
Gamba or Gambrinus
La Gamba or Gambrinus is a Mariscal artwork presenting a crayfish. It was inaugurated in 1989, when Moll de la Fusta was invaded by restaurant due to the Olympic Games. Many of these establishments (including the Gambrinus itself) closed forever but in 2004 the City Council acquired and restored this prawn with lobster legs. Today, it is one of the most photographed sculptures in Barcelona.
Tribute to Picasso
This controversial sculptural group was projected by Antonio TÃ pies in 1982. It is a large glass cube on a fountain from which water falls. Inside, there is a mirror, a sofa and a closet tangled in white sheets quoting Picasso: “A painting is not for decorating a room, but a weapon of attack and defense against the enemy”. TÃ pies wanted to evoke the time the painter spent in Barcelona, which is explained here.
Dona i Ocell
Translated as Woman and Bird, is one of the last works by Joan Miró before his dead. Unveiled in 1983, it is one of the attempts of the artist to bring contemporary art to all society. A few years before, in 1976, he installed a mosaic in La Rambla which became an icon of the city. The same with Dona i Ocell. It represents the figure of a woman on which a bird perches. Art experts claim it is similar to the Sagrada Familia or the Columbus Monument.
David and Goliat
Located in Plaça dels Voluntaris OlÃmpics, it is another of the many sculptures in Barcelona that were erected to celebrate the arrival of the Olympics. Built in 1992, it symbolizes the contrast between the disappeared neighborhood of Somorrostro, full of barracks, trash and precariousness and the wealthy  Vila OlÃmpica, today a high-level area.
Els Mistos
Claes Olderburg is known for carrying large-scale objects of daily life. That’s what he did with Las Cerillas, a sculptural group that he designed with his wife, Coosje van Bruggen. It was inaugurated in the Vall d’Hebron in 1992, in front of the Pavilion of the Republic. If you want fire, you know where to find it.
