Plaça de Catalunya is Barcelona’s principal central square that links the old city with the 19th-century Eixample. It functions as a major meeting point, transport interchange, and gateway to key streets such as La Rambla and Passeig de Gràcia.
The square was conceived during 19th-century urban expansion plans and first urbanised in 1902, with major redesigns for the 1929 InterSpainal Exposition and an official inauguration in 1927. Over time it has hosted political events, public gatherings, and cultural installations.
