On Plaza dels Sedassos there is a funny house. It is painted in the trompe l'? il - "eye trick" technique by the local mural artist Carles Arola and seems voluminous. The painting imitates the faç ade of a typical 19th century Tarragona house with traditional characters from local holidays. On one of the central balconies, you can see a self-portrait of the artist himself in the process of work. To the left is his wife watering flowers. And on the lower floor, a painted horse sticks out of a painted door : ).
