Back in the Roman period, this square was (and still is) where important government buildings were found. On one side is the Palace of the Generalitat (the government of the Autonomous Community of Catalunya) and on the other side you can see the City Hall. This square has been witness to some of the most important events in recent Catalan history, such as the Proclamation of the Catalan State in 1931 or the return of Josep Tarradelles from exile in 1977. On Sunday mornings, people come to dance the Sardana, the national dance of Catalonia—it's a very Catalan moment and worth checking out.
