Plaza San Felip Neri
One of the most historic and romantic squares of Barcelona. Surrounded by renaissance buildings and the facade of Church San Felip Neri. Its history is also related to the Spanish Civil War as it was hit by a bomb in January 1938 which you can see remaining from part of the damage caused.
You might be delighted by the presence of a guitar player while you stroll down the plaza. Located just around the corner of the Gothic Cathedral, it is, unfortunately, a place in Barcelona missed by many.
