7 iron arches
Travel through La Plana de l’Arc and discover the iron sculptures erected in honour of the Roman Arch and the local nature. You will find them in each of its seven municipalities along the Green Trail Network that connects the villages with Via Augusta.
Our first project created in 2021 by the brothers Blas and Pablo Montoya in Trashformaciones, a fusion of art, imagination and originality, in which they turn our waste into art!
TRASHFORMACIONES
Seven sculptural installations have been developed with the aim of unifying all the municipalities in La Plana de l’Arc, highlighting the Roman triumphal arch of Cabanes and its construction technique.
These sculptures are made from recycled iron beams from demolition sites, moulded into cubes and transformed into the keystones that form the semicircular arches in honour and likeness of Roman architecture.
At that time, stone was used as a construction material and the same technique has been followed but with the more avant-garde aesthetic finish found in the type of installations produced by Trashformaciones. They create artworks using recycled materials after studying the cycles of matter and exploring the results that can be obtained from materials that at first appear to have no value.
In addition to these seven arches, two other sculptures symbolising the local nature have been created in Coves de Vinromà and Torre d’en Doménec following the same philosophy of sustainability.
