Across the river, this arcaded square offers a more regular geometry than the old-town lanes. Martí Sureda’s design occupied the former Sant Agustí convent site. Notice how the porticoes connect restaurants and everyday routes. The central monument commemorates Girona’s defenders of 1809; examine it before choosing where to finish your walk.

From an irregular street to a continuous frontage
We suggest comparing this arcaded square with the Rambla’s uneven arches. Look at repeated openings, continuous frontages and the central space. The contrast reveals two ways of organising commerce and public life without entering a building or following a prescribed indoor route.
Separate the break from historical interpretation
Before choosing a terrace, study the monument to Girona’s defenders identified by the council. Then decide whether the square ends your walk or provides a pause before returning to the river. Check the chosen establishment’s menu, prices and service; this guide describes public space and includes neither booking nor consumption.
