Barcelona Central Squares Plaça de Universitat & Plaça de Catalunya Walking Tour February 2023
Plaça de la Universitat
Plaça de la Universitat is one of Barcelona's central squares, at the border between the districts of Eixample and Ciutat Vella. It is located at the intersection of Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, Carrer d'Aribau and Ronda de Sant Antoni. It is also just west of Plaça de Catalunya, to which it is linked by the Ronda de la Universitat and Carrer de Pelai.
The plaza is named for the University of Barcelona, whose neo-Gothic main campus lies on its northwest side. The main University building was built between 1863 and 1889 by the architect Elies Rogent, who also devised the square in 1874, at the time when the Eixample was being built after the complete demolition of the city walls. Along with Plaça d'Urquinaona, it is arguably one of the most common gathering-places for demonstrations in the city, as well as offering a pedestrianised area popular with skaters. There square is also surrounded by a number of shops and restaurants, and a primary school.
Plaça Catalunya
Some say that it’s the centre of Barcelona and they’re not wrong. Plaça Catalunya is the biggest and most centric square in Barcelona. It’s the point that connects the oldest part of the city (Ciutat Vella) with the 19th century-built Eixample. Its name in English means Catalonia square.
This square is famous for its shopping malls and its fountains. Aside, Plaça Catalunya is also known for a curious fact: the number of pigeons that gather there. It’s no unusual to see people giving food to them or just trying to catch them to take a picture.
