Plaça d'Anna Frank, Public square with Anne Frank bronze statue in Vila de Gràcia, Spain
Description
Plaça d'Anna Frank is a public square in the Vila de Gracia neighborhood featuring a bronze sculpture of the diarist in a contemplative pose. The artwork sits within a tree-lined space that includes stone benches and green vegetation.
History
The square opened in 1998 following a grassroots effort that began three years earlier to create a memorial dedicated to the diarist. The project grew from a desire to make her story visible in Barcelona's public spaces.
Culture
The square is named after the young diarist and serves as a quiet place for reflection in a busy neighborhood. Visitors often sit on benches to read or discuss the stories this place tells.
Practical
The square sits between two streets and is easily reached via the nearby Fontana metro station. Best visited on foot from the neighborhood center, where several cafes and shops are located.
Did you know?
A monolith at the plaza's entrance bears words of the diarist carved into it, written just weeks before her arrest. These personal words connect the place directly to her own voice and story.
