Barcelona Plaça Catalunya
The Barcelona's most famous square
Plaça Catalunya (in Catalan), or Plaza Cataluña (in Spanish), Plaça Catalunya is a traffic axis and a very important intersection of the city. With its very large number of possible accesses, Plaça Catalunya is one of the most recommended meeting points for getting to the centre of Barcelona.
Barcelona Catalonia Square
On certain occasions, such as Barcelona's end-of-year celebrations, the Plaça Catalunya takes on a different look, becoming an ice rink, a concert venue, or a place for exhibitions and events.
But for most of the year, the famous Plaça Catalunya (Catalonia Square) is occupied by a very large concentration of pigeons who have made this unmissable place in Barcelona their headquarters.

Plaza Cataluña Fountains
Even more spectacular at night than during the day, the fountains of the Plaça Catalunya offer a play of sound and light.
In order to respect the neighbourhood, and to add sound to the image, for those interested, Barcelona City Council offers the application "Fonts BCN" which allows you to fully enjoy the audio-visual attraction of the same principle as the Montjuic magic fountains from Plaça Catalunya.
Josep Clarà Goddess
The Goddess that sits in the middle of a stretch of water at one end of the Plaza de Catalunya, the work of the famous Spanish sculptor Josep Clarà i Ayats, is one of the sculptures in the most visited square in Barcelona. The nude ivory-coloured woman bathing on one of the corners of Plaça Catalunya (on the Ramblas side), also known as the Enigma, was installed in 1929 for the inauguration of the international exhibition.
Francesc Macià Monument
The monument to Francesc Macià is one of the sculptures planted around the central mosaic of Plaça Catalunya.Located on the southern part of the square, the monument to Fancesc Macià was founded by the artist Josep Maria Subirachs in 1991 in honour of the former president of the Generalitat.
