Barcelona and the wider Catalonia area now have a new protected cultural landmark at the airport. The Generalitat has declared Joan Miró’s ceramic mural at Barcelona-El Prat Airport a Bien Cultural de Interés Nacional.
The mural is the large ceramic work that greets travellers in Terminal 2. It has long been one of the airport’s most recognisable pieces of public art, and the new status gives it formal heritage protection.
The declaration was made by the Govern de la Generalitat. For readers following official updates, the Generalitat’s public information can be checked on its website, and the airport operator Aena also publishes airport information online. More Catalonia news
This decision matters beyond the airport itself. It places a well-known work by one of Catalonia’s best-known artists within the region’s protected cultural record, while keeping the focus on a site used daily by residents, visitors and business travellers.
