    Built in 1864, commissioned by the Vila town council, when it was still an independent municipality, by the architect Antoni Rovira Trias. The tower has a square base and is 33 meters high. Inspired by the Italian "campanile", it is located in the center of the square, presenting characteristic elements such as the fountain with human-shaped taps; the shields of Gràcia, Barcelona, ​​Catalonia and Spain that we find on the four sides of the base and the twelve terracotta reliefs that represent the zodiac, located on the central cornice. The building is crowned by a four-dial clock and two bells. The largest is known as Marieta.

    We had such a lovely time on this square. On our way from Park Güell we stopped on this square to have some tapas and drinks. There were kids playing football on the square, and my son was so excited. He managed to join them although none of them spoke English. He was sooo happy. It was a sunny day in February, we were eating great tapas at Cadaques, drinking bear….perfect day for our family.

    (Translated by Google) A very beautiful square with a lot of history in the center of Gracia surrounded by several interesting businesses...restaurants and tapas bars among others, where the central tower with a bell tower and a clock called the Gracia bell tower stands out, built by Antoni Rovira i Trias in 1864 with many mythical stories behind them and very relevant to the city of Barcelona. And right in front, presiding over the square, we find the Casa de la Vila, the work of Fancesc Berenguer Mestres (1905), a must-see for the urban traveler ☺ (Original) Una plaza muy bonita y con mucha historia en el centro de gracia rodeada de varios negocios interesantes...restaurantes y bares de tapas entre otros, donde destaca la torre central con un campanario y un reloj llamada el campanario de Gracia levantada por Antoni Rovira i Trías en 1864 con muchas historias míticas a sus espaldas y muy relevantes para la ciudad de Barcelona. Y justo enfrente presidiendo la plaza encotramos la casa de la vila obra de Fancesc Berenguer Mestres (1905) una parada obligada para el viajero urbano ☺

  • 4/5 Sergi Valle R. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A beautiful place in the most beautiful squares of Vila de Gràcia. Having a drink on its terraces is somewhat expensive, so it may be worth sitting on a bench to chat with friends. (Original) Un sitio bonito de las plazas más bonitas de la Vila de Gràcia. Tomarse algo en sus terrazas es algo caro por lo que puede merecer la pena sentarse en un banco a conversar con los amigos.
