Apart from being a delightful medieval square just 50 metres from the milling queues of tourists filing up and down the streets ofthe "Barri Gòtic" it has a sad history of its own: the multitude of pockmarks along the lower façade of the church of Sant Felip Neri are telltale evidence of a tragic event that took place in the...

Experience the romantic side of Barcelona right in the middle of the historical centre. Must-see with your couple :)

A charming and unspoilt square, shaded from the sun, and giving the impression of having seen a lot of life, still a busy playground.

Small square close to Cathedral, not so easy to find if you don't know the right turn in the narrow gothic streets. Must see in Barcelona.

Just a few steps from overcrowded and extremenly noisy Rambla. You just take a few steps aside into narrow streets (carrers) in Barri Gotic and such hidden treasures as this square can be found. I have discovered it only today, by chance, simply by turning to the wrong street. Beautiful, quiet, elegant.

If you know the history of the Placa it is a very moving spot to visit. If you do not find out before you go.

Really nice spot in the middle of Barcelona. It has a sad history but never the less, the feeling in this small plaza is very nice. This place has been in movie Perfume and in the music video of Evanescence - My Immortal.

Felip Neri is well worth a visit with such a fascinating diversity. Loved it! This is what Barcelona is about - not just the big boats in the marina!

Gaudi was walking to the church of this square when he died. I like this place very much. It is very dufficult to find, but worth it.
