Plaça de Nicolás Salmerón
Download date: 17/10/2024
Given its position between Barcelona and the town of Gràcia, the Pla de Nicolás Salmerón served as a middle-class showcase in what was really a more working-class quarter.

Urban spaces
Plaça, or Pla, de Salmerón – the President of the First Spanish Republic – is the gateway to the neighbourhood. Its shops and bars and Catalan Art Nouveau buildings, imitating the grand houses in Passeig de Gràcia, concealed a far more working-class reality behind them.
A point where two paths met, the old shortcut that joined the path going to Els Josepets with the Sant Miquel stream – the way to Barcelona – has always been very busy. In 1850, it was the horse-drawn carriages, known as sabines. Then came the omnibuses, the horse-drawn tramcars, the motor buses, the electric tramcars and the buses of La Catalana Graciense.

Observacions
La plaça o pla de Salmerón –president de la Primera República espanyola– és el portal de la Vila. Els seus comerços i edificis modernistes, que imiten les cases senyorials del passeig de Gràcia, emmascaraven una realitat molt més obrera a les seves esquenes.
