The tower depicts an athlete running with the olympic flame. Today, it just stands tall as a monument and a memorial to the fun at the 1992 Olympic Games at Barcelona. It also acts as a sundial, using the pillars in the Olympic Park plaza to tell the hour of the day. The top part serves as a benchmark for surveying.
