Keeping an eye over Port Vell is El Cap de Barcelona, a pop-art wonder created by Roy Lichtenstein. This sculpture was created to put on display for the 1992 Olympics held in the city and has been placed at the waterfront since. The artist has said that this statue was created with Barcelona in mind and as a tribute to Gaudí, it’s most famous patron of the arts, due to its bold colors and mosaic tiles. El Cap de Barcelona was created as an abstract piece but it shows the face of a woman, looking out over the sea from her position about 65 feet above ground. This work of art is a favorite among tourists who stop to snap a pic of one of Barcelona’s most iconic statues.
