Plaça del Rei is one of the most emblematic places in the city of Barcelona, located in the Gothic Quarter. It preserves the rectangular layout derived from the urbanization project that was carried out during the reign of Martí l'Humà, in the second half of the fourteenth century.

[1] The Plaza del Rey has been the historic seat of county and royal power in the city.
