Royal Square (Barcelona)

The plaza hosts many restaurants and some of the city's most famous nightclubs, including Sidecar, Jamboree, Karma and the historic and reinvented speakeasy cocktail bar Nou Pipa Club.

The square is the site of the Hotel Roma Reial and is also known for its many outdoor venues.

The original building on the site was the Capuchin convent of Santa Madrona, which was demolished in 1835.

Royal Square was then designed by Francesc Daniel Molina i Casamajó later in the 19th century.

The square's lampposts were designed by the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí.
