The Fountain of the Centenary, also called the Fountain of the Four Continents, is located on the Rambla. Installed in 1954. The author of the project was the Catalan sculptor Josep Viladumat. He was a finalist in a competition held at that time by the Barcelona City Hall, but the city authorities of Tarragona became interested in his work. Interestingly, the locals are still ambivalent about this fountain.
The sculptor depicted typical representatives of the four races in the form of four male figures, accompanied by animals characteristic of one or another part of the world. So, for example, a man with a polar bear is an allegory of the North. Then guess for yourself : )
