 1 Fanal & Font de Les Tres Gràcies at Plaça Reial by seamandrew This popular square, located just a small arcaded passageway away from La Rambla, is another of Barcelona's landmarks. It is one of its most handsome yet decadent squares. Restaurants and bars predominate, and the very popular Jamboree Jazz club (which we did not visit) is here along with its sister club Tarantos (also didn't visit) for flamenco. The Font de Les Tres Gràcies (either Fountain of the three Graces or Fourntain of the three Happinesses) and the two fanals (street lamps) were designed by Gaudí himself (see picture). You'll find all kinds of people here, we got to enjoy a flamenco performance that was excellent. The buzz never lets up, day or night. Leave a Comment Directions: Barri Gotic east of La Rambla. Metro stop: Liceu

The Plaza del Rey is the most noble part of the old Barcelona. At the end, there is the exterior part of Palau Reial Major (Royal Mayor Palace) in which you will find the Salón del Tinell. At the right hand you have the Capilla Palatina, or Capilla de Sant Àgata (Capilla de Santa Agueda) and at the left the palace of Lloctinent which stored the Archive of the Crown of Aragon (actually located in Almogàvers). At the right hand at the corner with the street Veguer you find Casa Clariana-Padellàs, which is the home of the Historic Museum of the city of Barcelona Directions: Barri Gotic east of La Rambla.

The Royal Square is a closed square as the famous ones in Madrid or Salamanca. It's placed just off the left side of the Rambla, coming from Catalonia's Square. It's one of the spaces with most tradition and interest in the city. This square occupies the site of a monastery of the Capuchin order. It was laid out in 1848 by the architect Francisco Daniel Molina and it has been remodelled on several occasions. It's now a popular meeting-point, in one of its open air terraces cafés situated under the building galleries. The 'Three Graces' fountain is in the middle of the square, with two lanterns designed by the young Antonio Gaudí. The buildings have bustes depicting famous navigators and explorer. The square have beautiful street lamps with the city's coat of arms and some slim palm trees too. La Plaza Real es una plaza porticada cerrada como las famosas de Madrid o Salamanca.

La plaza ocupa el lugar de un monasteria de la orden de los Capuchinos. Fue diseñada en 1848 por el arquitecto Francisco Daniel Molina y se ha remodelado en varias ocasiones. En la actualidad es un punto de encuentro muy popular, en cualquiera de sus terrazas al aire libre situadas bajo los porches de los edificios. La fuente de "Las Tres Gracias" está en medio de la plaza, con dos lámparas diseñadas por un joven Gaudí. Los edificios tienen bustos de famosos navegantes y exploradores. La plaza tiene bonitas farolas con el escudo de la ciudad y también delgadas palmeras. Leave a Comment Directions: Barri Gotic east of La Rambla. Metro: Liceu

 Placa Reial in November! by Jetgirly Placa Reial was THE place to meet, eat and drink while we were staying in Barcelona. In five weeks I ate at Les Quinze Nits five times, and I also went to the bar Glacier numerous times. There are lots of cute little clubs on the surrounding side streets (we loved the one called Sugar) and the palm trees and fountain in the center of the courtyard are beautiful! If you need a central meeting place, I highly recommend Placa Reial. Leave a Comment Directions: Barri Gotic east of La Rambla. Metro: Liceu on the green line, also quite close to Jaume 1 on the yellow line

 Plaça Reial by JanPeter74 Plaça Reial is perhaps the most beautiful square I know. Not extremely big, but very picturesque and extremely relaxed. It can be found close to the Ramblas (halfway) on the Barri Gòtic side. An ideal spot to relax a bit. Moreover, the square and the streets surrounding it are filled with nice restaurants. Among others Les Quinze Nits (on the square) and Los Caracoles (close by). Prepare to queue for both restaurants. Leave a Comment Directions: Barri Gotic east of La Rambla. Metro: Liceu

 A view of the square by SirRichard This was one of my favourite spots in BCN. This square with arcades ans palm trees is a lively meeting point and is all day and night busy with pedestrians and nice terraces where you can have a drink at noon or enjoy the amazing nightlife. The are 2 street lamps in the middle designed by Gaudi in his early years. Here you acn find friendly youth hostels (Kabul), trendy bars (Glaciar), delicious restaurants (Els Quinze Nits) or hidden night clubs (Pipa Club). It used to be a dangerous place at night, but now you can find a police car all the time there, though you still have to be careful, as in any crowded place… Leave a Comment Directions: Barri Gotic east of La Rambla.

 Placa Reial by kazander I read a ton of warnings about this square before I went to Barcelona, so I was very wary of coming here, much less staying here(which I only did for 1 night, but that's a whole other story). But I found it to be a beautiful relaxing place. There were some questionable folks around, but I was never bothered, even at night. So be watchful, but definately go see it. A lot of great resturants, cafes and clubs are located here. it's a perfect place for an afternoon snack while sitting outside, a nice dinner or dancing and drinks! The lampposts in the square were designed by Gaudi, his first known works. Leave a Comment Directions: Barri Gotic east of La Rambla. Metro: Liceu

 Placa Reial by Emke Every time I get to placa reial I just feel soooo relaxed. The yellow walls, the big palmtrees, to sun, the street musicians: nice nice nice! You have got to eat something at les quince nits. Everything they say about that restaurant is true: there's always a long long queue (we once waited 1,5 hour), the food and the atmosphere are worth waiting for, the food is absolutely delicious and very cheap. And the atmosphere is great. Leave a Comment Directions: Barri Gotic east of La Rambla. Metro: Liceu

 Plaza Reial-Barri Gotic by bpwillet This neo-classical plaza is energetic and usually full of activity. Something the residents haven't been to keen on. It used to be a less reputable area of Barcelona but has really changed in the last 20 years or so. There are a number of cafe's and restaurants around the plaza that vary in price and atmosphere. Jamboree, #17, offers live jazz and funk music most nights and becomes a disco after that. Most of the lamposts are some of Gaudi's first creations Leave a Comment Directions: East of La Rambla

by also-cc If you can get into any building in Plaza Real (Plaça Reial) then get up as high as you can, sit down, and just watch. Sit in a restaurant, a flat, a roof terrace - do anything reasonable, but don't climb the palm trees The plaza can be noisy, quiet, lively, lonely, but it's a constantly changing tableux, and for me the best part is watching people walk in who are obviously there for the first time in their lives. They all smile, and look up. Leave a Comment Directions: Off La Rambla.
