PLAÇA D'ESPANYA

Although this square is popularly called "plaça de ses Palmeres" (Palm Square), throughout history it had different names: square of the trough (abeurador), square dels Rossells and in 1938 it was officially named "Plaça d'Espanya"

This square was remodelled many times. From the 15th century onwards, on this open space there were drinking troughs and washing places with water from the well, which were rearranged at the end of the 18th century. The troughs were removed and placed back twice (the last time was in 1894) until in 1940 they were definitively demolished. The same year the square was embellished with gardens and the palm trees were planted. To commemorate the centenary of the dogmatic proclamation of the Immaculate Conception, in 1954 the monument was built.

The buildings around the square, still in place today, are constructed in regionalist style and combine historicism and regionalism. Its characteristic feature is a differentiated upper floor, inspired by the traditional canopies.
