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 was demolished.

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.

It is a beautiful square, with impressive buildings around it. Not a place for drinks or terrace. Just walk a bit down the little back streets and find surprisingly beautiful views. We did a walking tour based on author Zafon. It brings you off the beaten track. Google will help you find it l. I prefer plaza del Pi. Closeby and a place for a little rest. Either buy and sit on a bench or find terraces enough to serve your needs.
