Dona i Ocell
A 22-metre Miró that reads as unmistakably erotic — its strong colours visible to car passengers entering Barcelona.

One of Miró's last large sculptures (1983), clad in glazed-tile mosaic by friend and collaborator Joan Gardy Artigas, in a park over the old slaughterhouse.
What to look for
- A vulva-shaped split down the shaft, lined in blackish tiles against the primary colours.
- The hole through the glans — a vulva-and-hole motif also on 2nd–3rd-century Roman sculpture.
- It rises off-center, from an artificial lake at one corner of the terrace.
In Parc de Joan Miró (Parc de l'Escorxador), near Plaça d'Espanya; open-air, a quick stop.
