Just the next square down Placa de Sant Jaume is Placa de Sant Miquel, just behind the Ajuntament de Barcelona stands an odd monument, depicting Catalunya’s national sport: Castelles. It’s the art of building human castles which today can go up as high as 10 levels of humans with absolutely zero support. This culture is so unique that it is even included in UNESCO's Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. This particular art installation showcase the highest Castelles ever attempted. This have my brain going in circles trying to imagine the human feat of going up that high with just...

This is the central square you could say in Barcelona. You will see a lot of political movements and non violent protests attend here. A big square with lots of photo opportunities (being part of the barrio gothic (gothic quarter)). A big armed police presence here. At Xmas there is a HUGE Xmas tree and decorations to light up the square with comical dolls along the rooftops and balconies of the government buildings. Lots of restaurants and cafes nearby to enjoy with shops. This leads to La Rambla which is an avenue full of shops, places to...

Bustling historic square full of people, shops, hotels and much more awaits to welcome you with. Very immersive experience to be there for.

Saint James’s Square is a square at the center of the Old City of Barcelona and the administrative of both the city and surrounding Catalonia. This is because the Palace of the Generalitat of Catalonia and the City Hall are located here across one another. Its origin starts from the early-19th century, when the new façade of City Hall was built and the former church of Sant Jaume...

Plaça de Santa Jaume is a square located in the heart of Barcelona, Spain. It is considered one of the most important squares in the city and is home to several important buildings, including the City Hall (Ajuntament de Barcelona) and the Palace of the Generalitat of Catalonia, which houses the offices of the President of Catalonia and the Government of Catalonia. The square is often used for public events and political demonstrations and is a popular tourist destination. You should stop by to visit this place.

This is a very nice square in the old Barcelona, unfortunately pedestrians have to share it with cars and bikes. This was the very ancient center of Barcelona, even in Roman times, as here was to be found the Forum. Later a church was built - St Jaume, but it was demolished to give way to the administrative heart of Barcelona in 19th century. Now this a good place to take some photos, to see the Catalonian flag and to feel the desire of the Catalans for their own country.
