el Coll, ES

Parc de la Creueta del Coll (IPA: [ˈpaɾɡ də lə kɾəˈwɛtə ðəl ˈkɔʎ], 'Park of the Little Cross on the Pass') is a park in the Gràcia and Horta districts of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. The park was created from an abandoned quarry as part of the nou urbanisme (new urban planning) developments during t

he 1992 Summer Olympics by architects Martorell, Bohigas and Mackay. The park contains the sculpture Elogi de l'Aigua ('In Praise of Water', 1987), by Basque sculptor Eduardo Chillida, a massive, reinforced concrete claw suspended by steel cables above a shallow pool built in the former quarry area. Another sculpture, Tòtem (English: Totem, 1987) by Ellsworth Kelly is near the entrance gate.
