Plaça Reial, Barcelona

Beside Hotel California

Plaça Reial is one of Barcelona’s most popular squares, where history, architecture, gastronomy and nightlife meet beside Las Ramblas.

A unique square

Its palm trees, arcades and trapezoid shape make it one of the city’s most distinctive spaces. The elegant buildings are decorated with busts of navigators and explorers.

Gaudí’s lamps

The two ornate lamps in the square were among Antoni Gaudí’s first works after qualifying as an architect.
