"Monumento a Roger de Lauria en Tarragona. Desde el balcon del mediterraneo en el inicio de la rambla nova nos encontramos con el mismísimo almirante de la flota de la Corona de Aragón y de Sicilia, Roger de Lauria.

El pedestal es obra de Ramón Salas Ricomá, arquitecto provincial y diocesano, que alza la figura del almirante por encima del mar Mediterráneo, que se encuentra a sus espaldas, recordando si cabe aquella célebre frase:
“Que a partir de ahora no habrá pez que se atreve a sacar la cola si no lleva atada la bandera con las cuatro barras de nuestro señor rey de Aragón”.

El pedestal exhibe la heráldica de la ciudad y la del homenajeado en los laterales.
En la placa frontal del monumento se lee. “TARRAGONA / A / ROGER DE LAURIA”"

"Monument to Roger de Lauria in Tarragona From the balcony of the Mediterranean at the beginning of the ravine nova we met the very admiral of the fleet of the Crown of Aragon and Sicily, Roger de Lauria.

The pedestal is the work of Ramón Salas Ricomá, provincial and diocesan architect, who elevates the figure of the admiral above the Mediterranean Sea, who is behind him, remembering if that famous phrase fits:
"That from now on there will be no fish that dares to draw the tail if it has not tied the flag with the four bars of our Lord King of Aragon."
 
The pedestal exhibits the heraldry of the city and that of the honoree on the sides.
On the front plate of the monument is read. "TARRAGONA / A / ROGER DE LAURIA"
