LA BISBAL D'EMPORDÀ, Catalunya, Spain. Monument to the sardana


LA BISBAL D'EMPORDÀ
Passeig de Marimon Asprer.

Monument to the sardana, made of corten steel by the Catalan sculptor Marcel Martí (Alvear, Argentina, 1925 - Palafrugell, Catalunya, 2010) and inaugurated in 1988. This monument was erected on the occasion of the centenary of the Orquestra La Principal de la Bisbal (Bisbal Main Orchestra).

La sardana is a Catalan musical genre typical of Catalan culture and danced in circle following a set of steps. The dance was originally from the Empordà region, but started gaining popularity throughout Catalonia from the late 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century. The oldest found reference to the word sardana is from 1552.
