This golden fish sculpture was created by Frank Gehry in 1992 when Barcelona hosted the Summer Olympic Games. The enormous steel structure measure 184 feet long and 115 feet wide. The sunlight glistens off the scales of El Peix (The Fish) as it watches over the Mediterranean at Olympic Marina. Framing this popular artwork are two skyscrapers. On the left is Hotel Arts. At the base of the five-star property is the Casino de Barcelona with 33,000 square feet of gaming space. On the right is Torre Mapfre, a commercial office building named after a Spanish insurance company. These are Barcelona’s two tallest buildings at 505 feet.
