Plaza Catalunya



Plaza Catalunya is a large square in central Barcelona that is generally considered to be both its city centre and the place where the old city (Ciutat Vella) and the 19th century-built Eixample meet. Some of the city's most important streets and avenues meet at Plaça Catalunya: Passeig de Gràcia, Rambla de Catalunya, La Rambla or Portal de l'Àngel. The plaza occupies an area of about 50,000 square metres. It is especially known for its fountains and statues, its proximity to some of Barcelona's most popular attractions, and for the flocks of pigeons that gather in the centre. Here you will find the famous old Café “Zurich”, which is also a meeting point for all the local people living in Barcelona.
