Plaça de Catalunya, Central square at the intersection of Gothic Quarter and Eixample, Barcelona, Spain.
The square extends across 50,000 square meters with multiple fountains, monuments, and statues representing different artistic movements from Noucentisme to Neo-Classicism.
The square emerged following the 1888 Universal Exposition when Barcelona removed its medieval walls, marking a transition between the ancient city and modern expansion.
The plaza features six sculptural groups depicting the four Catalan capital cities, wisdom, and labor, created by artists including Josep Clara and Josep Llimona.
The location functions as a central transportation hub connecting multiple metro lines, bus routes, and major streets such as La Rambla and Passeig de Gracia.
The square contains the monument to Francesc Macia, designed by Josep Maria Subirachs, marking the presidency of the Catalan Government.
