The

Barcelona City Council

has denounced that unknown persons have mutilated the arms of the monument to the sardana in

Montjuïc

, in an attack similar to the one that this sculpture already suffered in 2014.

In a message on his Twitter account, the Deputy Mayor for City Council Security,

Albert Batlle

, has denounced the attack against this sculpture, which reproduces several people dancing a sardana, although some of them now present their mutilated arms.

"We condemn the savagery and appeal to fight for coexistence and against incivism," said Batlle.

The monument to the sardana is a work made by the draftsman and writer

Josep Cañas

that is located on the road to the castle of Montjuïc, with a diameter of four meters and eight figures of about two meters high, carved in limestone from

Ulldecona

(Tarragona).

In the center of the sculpture, the author placed a stone from the mountain of

Montserrat

to symbolize the belongings, such as bags, that Sardanists usually leave while dancing this traditional Catalan dance.
