Plaça
Catalunya (or Plaça de Catalunya, both being the official Catalan
language names; Plaza de Cataluña in Spanish) is a large square
in central Barcelona that's generally considered to be both its city centre
and the place where the old city and the 19th century-built Eixample meet.
Some
of the city's most important streets and avenues meet in Plaça Catalunya:
Passeig de Gràcia, Rambla de Catalunya, La Rambla or Portal de l'Àngel,
in addition to Ronda de Sant Pere, Carrer de Vergara or Carrer de Pelai.
Its especially known not only for its fountains and statues, or for being
near some of Barcelona's most popular attractions, but for the impressive
amount of pidgeons that gather in its central part. |
