The Monument to the Sardana, created in 1965 by Josep Cañas with the collaboration of Carles Amadon, is a limestone sculpture depicting eight people dancing the traditional Catalan sardana. Located in Plaça de la Sardana, it was first inaugurated in 1966 and later restored and rededicated in 2009. In 2020, it was vandalized, with the dancers' hands amputated, prompting a long-awaited restoration completed in 2022. The monument bears the inscription "La sardana és la dança més bella" ("The sardana is the most beautiful dance"), celebrating Catalan culture.
