A vivid bronze sculpture on the Rambla Nova depicting a complete Catalan castell, or human tower — the trunk of strong adults at the base, the smaller climbers above, and at the top a child of seven or eight raising a hand in the traditional gesture that completes the tower. Designed by Francesc Anglès i García and installed in 1999, the monument is roughly twelve metres tall and life-size from base to summit.
A five-minute stop, but worth it for the explanation of the tradition. The biennial Concurs de Castells in early October (held in Tarragona's Tarraco Arena) is the world championship of the sport — book accommodation months ahead if you want to attend.
