Passeig de Lluís Companys, Barcelona

Passeig de Lluís Companys, Barcelona, Pedestrian promenade in Barcelona, Spain.

Passeig de Lluís Companys is a tree-lined pedestrian promenade in Barcelona connecting the Arc de Triomf and Parc de la Ciutadella. The pathway is wide and open, with benches placed at intervals for walking visitors.

The promenade was laid out as the monumental entrance to the 1888 Universal Exposition, on the site listed as no. 35 in Cerdà's plan. It was known as Saló de Sant Joan, then renamed Fermín Galán under the Second Republic and Salón de Víctor Pradera under Franco. On 20 December 1979 it was dedicated to Lluís Companys, the Catalan president executed at Montjuïc castle in 1940.

The eight bronze statues of Catalan historical figures were approved by the city council in 1883 and inaugurated for the 1888 Universal Exposition. Today only Roger de Lauria and Antoni Viladomat remain in their original spots; Pau Claris, installed in 1917, was reinaugurated in 1977. The Lluís Companys monument (1998) by Francisco López Hernández features Conxita Julià and the inscription "Catalonia and freedom are the same thing."

The promenade is easily accessible by metro at Arc de Triomf station on Line 1 or by buses including lines 39 and 40. The flat and open pathway makes it comfortable for walking at your own pace through the area.

The Palau de Justícia (1888–1911) by Enric Sagnier and Josep Domènech i Estapà has a 20-metre-high Sala de los Pasos Perdidos roofed with iron arches and painted by Josep Maria Sert. Its exterior carries 48 figures linked to law, 22 reliefs, a Moses group by Agustín Querol and a 4-metre Justice by Andreu Aleu.
