Barcelona - Plaça Reial

 
The Plaça Reial (not to be confused with Plaça del Rei) is connected with the Rambla dels Caputxins by a short diagonal road (Carrer Colom). This beautiful square is enclosed by houses in the Classical style, the ground floors of which include arcades with shops and restaurants.

The square was laid out in the middle of the 19th C. on the site of a former Capuchin monastery.

Among palm trees in the center stands the beautiful Fountain of the Three Graces; the candelabra was designed by Antoni Gaudí. On Sundays the square is the busy scene of a coin and stamp market.

In recent years the square has increasingly become the haunt of drug addicts.
