La Mercè 18
Barcelona’s "Festa Major de la Mercè" is a celebration in honour of the patron saint of the city.
Mercè is wearing a mantle with colored stripes. It reminds us of a circus tent, a metaphor for joy.
Under her mantle more Mercès are sheltered. They are Mercès as diverse as the people of Barcelona.
