On Carrer de Sant Joan street there is an unusual monument of a giant Indian. This peculiar monument was erected in honor of the Catalan holiday Ciutat Gegantera, the main characters of which are huge figures (made, as a rule, from papier-mâ ché ). The "Giants of Reus" annually participate in the main city festivals and carnivals, passing through the streets and performing their dances as part of a colorful procession. Two of the ten giants of Reus are made in the form of Indians and personify America. These figures are the most ancient and weighty, therefore it was the image of the Indian that was chosen for the monument.
