Parc de Carles I became a sort of Olympic Village gateway, towards which it is aligned. Particularly notable are its lines of tall cypresses and plane trees and a long water channel. It is part of the large, coastal park created to open the city up to the sea for the Olympic Games in 1992.
History
Parc de Carles I is one of the “coastal parks”, which also include the Port Olímpic, Nova Icària, Poblenou and Cascades parks. Five large green spaces that were built on Poblenou’s old industrial land at the start of the 1990s, as part of the coastal facade’s redvelopment for the 1992 Olympic Games.
Art and Architecture
The sculpture, a bronze work six and a half metres high by Eduardo Úrculo called El Cul (The Bottom), was dedicated to Santiago Roldán, the chair of the Olympic Holding company from 1989 to 1993. Set near the park’s Himalayan cedars, it consists of long, chubby legs supporting two perfectly round buttocks.
