The Parc de la Pedrera del Coll is a place not known to many people, although both inside and around you can also enjoy various forms of art. Undoubtedly the most popular work is Eduardo Chillida's: The Water Praise or also called Narcís. A heavy mass of more than 50 tonnes of concrete hanging upside down, suspended on the raft looking at itself on the mirror that makes the water. We invite you to follow the route proposed by the park's ridge looking for the corners to see this image better on water.
Could you tell us why the names of the piece?
This work is in the current location after it has fallen from the place where it was in the year 98.
We also find it more unnoticed, although it is 10 meters high, a piece by the artist Ellsworth Kelly, just at the entrance to the esplanade.
For the curious you will still find the beginning of the route, just before climbing up the stairs in the back, the remains covered by a house that housed up to the beginning of the park, a famous nativity scene by Josep Pinyol. So much so that he captured the admiration of Dalí to become great friends.
If you are lovers of architecture or geology we recommend you visit a few meters above the park, just following the main street, the SanSalvador Family House, now the Historical Archive Museum of the District, where Josep Maria Jujol delights us with shapes, materials and forms of natural base and a subsoil full of tunnels with a lot of history.
