Plaça de Trilla, decorated with a small, geometrically shaped palm grove that provides a cover, is an oasis of tranquility alongside Vila de Gràcia’s main streets.

Cultural heritage

This square, laid by Pere Serra in 1825, is named after the Can Trilla farm vineyards. It is one of many that give Gràcia its identity and has a monument dedicated to Les Colles de Sant Medir, designed by Núria Tortras (1969).
The colles or pilgrimage groups are central to the Sant Medir Sweet Festival, which commemorates the promise Josep Vidal i Granés, the baker on Carrer Gran de Gràcia, made to the patron saint of peasants in 1830. It is held on 3 March, when thousands and thousands of sweets, thrown from the festooned horses and carriages, literally fly through the air along Gràcia’s streets.
