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.

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”.
