The square is named after Comas, who was the president of Barcelona Provincial Council and the husband of Dolors Masferrer (who owned this land). The residential area was her express wish. She sold the properties for the construction of central point of power for the former municipality of Les Corts. All this happened at the beginning of the 19h century, when Les Corts’ social powers wanted to take the advantage of the possibilities that the Constitution of Cadiz (1812) offered them in constituting an independent municipality. They achieved that in 1836, although the building that housed the town hall had to wait until 1884 . The old town hall, now the district headquarters of Les Corts, was designed by Antoni Rovira. It is a Neoclassical building, crowned by a pediment with the Les Corts coat of arms. It contains several Neoclassical elements, notable among which, in its noble rooms, is a collection of paintings by Antonio M. Fabrés. In front of the building, there is a statue of Pau Farinetes, an iconic Les Corts resident from Mas Farinetes. The sculpture used to be ceramic, and it was on a pedestal, but with the new residential area in the square, it was placed at street level, a closeness that has endeared it to everyone who passes by. The statue aims to evoke, dignify and perpetuate the collective memory of Les Corts’ rural past.
