The epicentre of the historic Ciutat Vella (Old City), this plaza has been an essential part of
civic life since the Romans erected a forum here 2000 years ago. Several key government
buildings continue to play a role in political affairs, including the Ajuntament, where Bar-
celona's first ruling council met in the 1300s. By day, the buzzing plaza brings a mishmash
of bureaucrats, protestors and gawking tourists.
