The bustling Plaça Reial in Barcelona is renowned for its photogenic beauty and liveliness. Boasting 19th-century neoclassical buildings with arcades, restaurants, bars and nightspots, it is always buzzing with activity. The center of the square is marked by a magnificent fountain, surrounded by lamp posts designed by one of the city's most famous architects, Antoni Gaudí. These lamp posts are some of Gaudí's earliest works in Barcelona.
