Gate of the Catalan Countries


The Gate of the Catalan Countries, a work of the sculptor Emili Armengol, marks the Northern starting location of the Catalan Countries in Salses, Pyrénées-Orientales.
After more than 20 years since the beginning of the project, it was finally inaugurated on September 28, 2003, being visible from the highway. Its conception and execution was in charge of the Union for the Catalan Region.
The aerial view of the monument reminds a sickle, in reference to Els Segadors anthem.
