The story

Story · Les Quatre Columnes

  • en
  • nl

You're standing by the Four Columns, Les Quatre Columnes in Catalan, on Montjuïc hill in Barcelona. Take a look up at those four slender columns. They're Ionic columns, the kind with the scrolled decoration at the top. They might look like plain classical ornament, but there's a political story behind them.
