About Plaça Reial Grand square with Gaudí Lamp posts
The original building on the site was the Capuchin convent of Santa Madrona, which was demolished in 1835.
In 1848 architect Francesc Daniel Molina i Casamajó was commissioned to build the Plaça Reial square by the city of Barcelona. The many terraces, central fountain, galleries of arches, and the palm trees give the pedestrianised square a typical Spanish atmosphere.
In the middle of Plaça Reial is a fountain with two special lampposts (Font de les Tres Gracies). These lampposts were designed by Antoni Gaudí in the early years of his career and were his first commission for the city of Barcelona
