For the first time this year, the Columbus Monument was decorated to take part in the Festes del Roser (the Roses Festivities), held from October 7th to 13th.
Turisme de Barcelona asked the city’s School of Floral Art and Landscape Design to decorate the monument, within the framework of a collaboration agreement between the tourism board and the Association of Friends, Neighbours and Tradesmen of La Rambla and Plaza de Cataluña (Amics de la Rambla).
Turisme de Barcelona is continuing its bid to make some of the city’s most emblematic buildings accessible to the city’s residents and to support initiatives aimed at both visitors and residents alike.
This collaborative initiative with Amics de la Rambla is aimed at enhancing some of the city’s local hallmarks and at promoting events closely associated with La Rambla. The Columbus Monument is managed by Turisme de Barcelona, and it received 109,727 visitors in 2015.
