The palm trees and the neoclassical buildings give a distinguished and exotic touch to this great trapezoidal arcaded square built in the middle of the 19th century in the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona.
The Sant Jaume Square, with a great historical and symbolic value for the city, is presided by two imposing buildings: the Generalitat Palace and the Town Hall Palace.
The most important square in the city, the true heart of Barcelona, is the point of union between the old town (Ciutat Vella) and the Eixample district.
