Until the 19th century, this area was outside the city walls. Already after the reconstruction, Plaza Catalunya became the place where the old city meets the new. Basically, its ensemble was formed by 1929, when a metro station was built here. Today it is the very center of Barcelona, ​ ​ from where the streets fan out. And there are also several fountains, trees, clouds of pigeons, loudly screaming parrots and crowds of tourists. Under the square is the largest tourist information center in the city.→
