Prima Square

Plaça del Prim, Placa del Prim
Spain, Reus
Plaza Prima is named after the famous politician of Spain, General Juan Prima. In the 17th century, it was called Nuns' Square; previously, a Carmelite monastery was located here. But in 1868 the building of the monastery was demolished by the Revolutionary Council, and the square was called Revolution Square. Later, a monument to General Juan Prim was erected in the center of the square and it was renamed again. Important architectural sights of Reus are concentrated here - the Fortuna Theater, the building of the old casino and the Catalan bank.

Prima Square, already historically, is the center of the city's social life. On the square there is a monument to General Prim, a native of Reus, a politician and military leader. Fun fact about the statue. The rear of the horse on which General Prim sits is turned towards Tarragona, the traditional rival of Reus. This rivalry began in 1833, when the current province of Tarragona was formed. In terms of the number of inhabitants and its economic potential, Reus claimed the title of the capital of the province, but Tarragona was lucky, which proved its leadership status by the fact that the city has a seaport, an episcopal residence and its inhabitants more than others took part in the battles with Napoleon : ).
