Plaça de Catalunya is Barcelona's central square and the center of downtown Barcelona.

The square was inaugurated on November 2nd 1927 by Spanish King Alphonso XIII. Plaça de Catalunya has a small temple with a central colonnade, fountains and 28 sculptures in stone and bronze, by leading sculptors of the time.

Josep M. Subirachs's striking monument to former President of Catalunya President Francesco Macià later brought the number of sculptures to 29 in total. Plaça de Catalunya is the center of Barcelona's public transport with many metrobus and tour bus connections.
