The statue of Saint James on horseback in Barcelona.
Arriving in one of the most important squares, administratively speaking, of Barcelona I photographed this beautiful statue of Saint James (which in Catalan is called Sant Jaume).
I read online that the statue was sculpted by Manuel Fuxà in 1902 to decorate the Caixa d’Estalvis i Mont de Pietat building.

Where is the statue located:

James the Greater, also called James of Zebedee (Bethsaida, … – Jerusalem, 44), is part of the group of the twelve apostles of Jesus, as reported in the Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles. He is called “Greater” to distinguish him from the apostle of the same name, James of Alphaeus, called “Minor” or “the brother of the Lord”.
