Image of Sant Adrià de Besòs, not of the place itself.

The so-called Arc d'Adrià is the 13th-century Gothic doorway of the former Carme convent in Barcelona, originally located between Carme and dels Àngels streets, in the Raval. It has two pillars with Gothic bases and capitals decorated with plant, animal and human-face motifs, a flat lintel and a pointed arch with archivolts of Montjuïc stone. Juli Maria Parellada i de Moragas moved it next to the Cal Tondo farmhouse, in Sant Adrià de Besòs, and in 1991, during the works on the Ronda del Litoral, it was restored and relocated to the roundabout where it stands today, next to the N-II bridge over the river Besòs. In 1997 it was declared a symbol of municipal identity and in 2003, a cultural asset of local interest.
