Leading off Las Ramblas, this is a grand, 19th century, beautiful square. Houses enclose the square and arcades with shops and restaurants can be found on the ground floor.

The square was laid out in the middle of the 19th Century on the site of a former Capuchin monastery. You’ll find the beautiful Fountain of the Three Graces; the Antoni Gaudí designed candelabra in the centre of the square surrounded by palm trees. On Sundays the square is the busy scene of a coin and stamp market.

Best to be avoided at the weekends, this square tends to fill up with stag/hen parties, but not let this stop you coming here! Why not explore the tiny passage ways that lead from the square – in these you’ll discover some of the city’s best spots.

From simply sitting on a terrace to listening to a live jazz concert, this place has a lot of cultural on offer. It is the ultimate holiday experience and a trip to Barcelona isn’t the same without a visit here! There are about ten bars around the square, terrace bars under the arches, and some selected nightclubs and music bars on the first floors.
