Plaça Sant Jaume
Since the Roman period, Plaça Sant Jaume has been the site of Catalonian government and the main square of the old city. On one side is the Palace of the Generalitat (the government of the Autonomous Community of Catalunya) and on the other side you can see the City Hall. This square has been witness to some of the most important events in recent Catalan history, such as the Proclamation of the Catalan State in 1931 and the return of Josep Tarradelles from exile in 1977.

Fun Fact

• On Sunday mornings, people come to Plaça Sant Jaume to dance the Sardana, the national dance of Catalonia; and it's a great place to soak up the Catalan culture.
