The streets of Palma are adorned with many sculptures. <\/span><\/h2>\n

We would like to propose a tour visiting some of these, contemporaneous and gothic, some with great artistic significance, others that are just symbols of this beautiful city.<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

The tour starts in the Plaza de la Porta de Santa Catalina. Here sits the upside-down church: \u201cDevice to Root Out Evil<\/strong>\u201d, by Dennis Oppenheim, identical to the one found in the Denver Art Museum, the only difference being the materials used.
\n<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

\nFrom here we head towards Paseo Sagrera, where we find La Lonja, a gothic building. In the portal, we see a guardian angel<\/strong>, \u201cDefenedor de la Mercaderia\u201d (Defender of the merchandise), a sculpture by the building\u2019s architect, Guillerm Sagrera.<\/p>\n

\n\"Angel<\/p>\n

\"A<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Further on, on the corner of Avenida Antonio Maura, we see a massive statue paying tribute to Ram\u00f3n Llull<\/strong><\/a>, work of Horacio de Eguia.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On Calle Palau Reial, we can study the bronze sculpture of a woman, by Joan Mir\u00f3<\/strong>, called \u201cMonumento\u201d. The beginning and end of the Bourne are guarded by four sphinxes, work of sculptor Jacint Mateu.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In front of the stairs up to Plaza Mayor sits the concrete sculpture \u201cLugar de Encuentro V\u201d (Meeting Point 5) by Eduardo Chillida.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is the end of our proposed tour of city sculptures, but there are many more to see.<\/p>\n
