Plaça del Duc de Medinaceli

Plaça del Duc de Medinaceli is a square in central Barcelona.

It is part of Barri Gòtic, in the Ciutat Vella district, located between Passeig de Colom and Carrer de la Mercè, on a terrain formerly part of a 13th-century Franciscan convent until 1836.

The square was projected after the disappearance of the old city walls and the convent in the 19th century.

[1] It had previously been known as plaça de sant Francesc and plaça dels Framenors, and from the construction of the square as we see it now, Manuel Azaña, Duque de Medinaceli and Barcas.

The square is famously featured in a scene of Pedro Almodóvar's film "Todo sobre mi madre".
