Created by local artist Joan Fontcuberta, the mural was put up in 2014 to commemorate the 300 years of history since the fall of Barcelona in the War of Spanish Succession in 1714.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The government originally asked the artist to do a work of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/art-galleries-eixample\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>art<\/strong><\/a> representing freedom, but because freedom means something entirely different to everyone, Fontcuberta asked the public to send in photos that represented a single moment of freedom to them. The giant kiss is actually not a single work of art, but an incredible mosaic of over 5,000 unique tiles made up of the individual photos the artist collected. Fontcuberta named the piece &#8220;<strong>El M\u00f3n Neix en Cada Besada<\/strong>,&#8221; or &#8220;<strong>The World Begins with Every Kiss<\/strong>,&#8221; although it&#8217;s known among locals simply as &#8220;<strong>The Kiss of Freedom<\/strong>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Address:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.es\/maps\/place\/Pla%C3%A7a+d'Isidre+Nonell,+08002+Barcelona\/@41.3851943,2.1739621,18z\/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x12a4a2f9e4c59aab:0x2bb3b45f06a1a70f!8m2!3d41.3851118!4d2.1749116\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Pla\u00e7a d&#8217;Isidre Nonell, 08002 Barcelona<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Grec_Theater\"><\/span>Grec Theater<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_94074\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-94074\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-94074\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/6990237739_b73e81d575_b-300x180.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-94074\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Visentico \/ Sento via Visualhunt<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <a href=\"http:\/\/lameva.barcelona.cat\/grec\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><strong>Grec Theater<\/strong><\/a> is a beautiful outdoor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/theatres-in-barcelona\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>theater<\/strong><\/a> situated on <strong>Montj\u00fcic Mountain<\/strong>.
