Gate of the Catalan Countries

The Gate of the Catalan Countries, located in Salses, France, serves as a symbolic entry point to the Catalan Countries, also known as Catalunya Nord. Designed by sculptor Emili Armengol, this striking monument was inaugurated on September 28, 2003, after a lengthy 20-year project. Its unique sickle-like shape, reminiscent of the anthem 'Els Segadors,' makes it a notable landmark visible from the highway, attracting both tourists and researchers interested in Catalan culture and identity.
