In the past, this space was a large esplanade outside the entrance gates to the walled city. The architects <strong>Pere Falqu\u00e9s, Puig i Cadafalch <\/strong>and<strong> Francesc de Paula Nebot <\/strong>were involved in its creation, and sculptures by such well-known artists as <strong>Clar\u00e0<\/strong> and <strong>Llimona<\/strong> were also placed there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The square is also surrounded by six groups of sculptures representing the four Catalan capitals, wisdom and work. At one end of Catalonia Square there is also a monument to Francesc Maci\u00e0, the President of the Generalitat of Barcelona, by <strong>Josep Maria Subirachs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Surrounded by imposing buildings and with <strong>two large fountains<\/strong> that decorate the upper side, this large square has many <strong>sculptures<\/strong> such as La Deessa, by Josep Clar\u00e0, the Monument to Francesc Maci\u00e0, by Josep Maria Subirachs and other works by artists such as Josep Llimona and Enric Casanova.

Las Ramblas is always <strong>lively, packed with tourists and street performers<\/strong> who act as human statues.
