Plaça del Duc de Medinaceli, Public square in Gothic Quarter, Spain
Located between Passeig de Colom and Carrer de la Mercè, this rectangular plaza contains palm trees and decorative plants in its central garden section.
The square was constructed between 1844 and 1849 on the grounds of a 13th-century Franciscan monastery that was demolished in 1837.
The plaza bears the name of Luis Joaquín Fernández de Córdoba y Benavides, the 14th Duke of Medinaceli, who donated the land for public use.
The Drassanes metro station provides direct access to the square, while bus line 120 stops directly at the plaza since 2006.
The space underwent multiple name changes, including Plaza de San Francisco and Plaza Manuel Azaña, before receiving its current designation.
