The Plaça del Rei (´King´s Square´) situated in the heart of the Gothic Quarter, a few steps away from
Plaça Sant Jaume and the Cathedral, is an amazing solitary place surrounded by spectacular medieval buildings.
The square integrates one of the most noble monumental sets of the old town of Barcelona:
Palau Reial Major, where one finds the Gothic Salted of the Tinell; the chapel of Holy Agate, also Gothic; Palau del Lloctinent, and Museu d'Història of the Ciutat, moved stone to stone from the street dels Mercaders in 1931 and in the cellar of which there are remains of the Roman civilization. The sculpture Moles V, of
Eduardo Chillida, gives him the contemporary touch.
This square surrounded by the typical narrow and narrow streets of the Gothic quarter, is also the place chosen to put on multiple concerts of all kinds, from street music to the holidays of the
Festival Grec.
In short, the perfect place where to state the historical past of the city and perhaps one of the most beautiful points of ancient Barcelona.
