Create an itinerary including Plaça de Sant Felip Neri

Tucked into a corner of the Gothic Quarter, Plaça de Sant Felip Neri offers a more quiet, contemplative experience than a typical Spanish plaza. A bomb etched still-visible wounds into the church facade in January 1938, during the Spanish Civil War. The bomb claimed 42 lives, mostly children. Architect Adolf Florensa took charge of the reconstruction of the site. Some scenes of the Woody Allen film “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” were shot here. By using our Barcelona sightseeing site, you can arrange your visit to Plaça de Sant Felip Neri and other attractions in Barcelona.

Very unusual square, impressive somehow, recommended to pass by or even stay for a drink. Very high walls on the sides and a tall tree.
