Description

A piece of great historical and artistic value, due to its originality and because it represents the metal structure of the scaffolding that was erected for the construction of one of Barcelona’s most emblematic monuments: the Columbus Monument, inaugurated in 1888 coinciding with the Barcelona Universal Exhibition. This technical drawing is kept in the background of the company Torras Herrería y Construcciones, SA (Can Torras dels Ferros), since it was in charge of the construction of this structure.
