Plaça Reial

About

Plaça Reial, (next to La Rambla). This square is famous for the nightlife and the uniform architecture. It is considered one of the most beautiful squares in the world. It was built during the 19th century in the place of a monastery, after the Mendizábal law expelled the monks. A new square was built, making all the buildings look the same, with fountains and palm trees. After some years, Antoni Gaudí, the famous architect, designed the streetlights which are still there. It has lots of activity during the day, thanks to the many terraces of the restaurants. It is also a good place to go for a drink or a dance.
