Plaça Rius I Taulet

This square is home to the administrative and political centre of the neighbourhood and seat of the district's town hall. It is one of the neighbourhood's most peculiar squares largely due to an interesting story centred around its famous clocktower.

The tower, also known as the bell tower of Grácia, is crowned by a clock with four faces, placed there so that it could be seen from all corners of the old village. The tower was designed by the architect Antoni Rovira i Trias, who gave one of the other neighbourhood squares its name.

Inside the clock's structure, on the side that faces the town hall, is a spiral staircase that leads up to the clock's actual mechanism. Albert Billeter, who was borne in Switzerland, built the clockwork. He was responsible for bringing electric clocks to Spain.

The square also recalls one of the neighbourhood's fondest memories. A plaque honours one of the human towers that the "Castellers" (one of the great traditions still practised in Catalonia) erected next to the clock tower.
