    Plaça d'Espanya

    August 3, 2021 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 81 °F

    Plaça d'Espanya is one of Barcelona's most important squares, built on a site that had been previously used for public hangings, until the creation of the now demolished Ciutadella fortress in 1715, where the gallows were moved. It was designed in 1915 and built in 1929 - the occasion of the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition, held at the foot of Montjuïc, in the Sants-Montjuïc district.
