Plaça de Sant Felip Neri

  Plaça de Sant Felip Neri sits in the heart of the Gothic Quarter in Barcelona, just a short walk from the Barcelona Cathedral. This charming square is home to the Baroque-style Church of Sant Felip Neri, which has stood since 1752 and bears scars from the Spanish Civil War, serving as a poignant reminder of the city’s tumultuous history. The plaza’s main feature is its tranquil ambiance, often providing a serene escape for locals and visitors alike. While the square is delightful year-round, the early spring months of March and April bring blooming orange trees that add a touch of color and life. Visitors can enjoy a moment of reflection, admire the intricate architectural details, or simply soak in the atmosphere while surrounded by ancient stone walls.
