And in the centre… a square
The land of the present square belonged to Count Bell-lloc. In 1873, the Sants’ municipality approved a project for the urbanization of this land and since the square stood right in the middle of the whole, it was christened Plaça del Centre (Central square).
This square is located between the Vallespir and the Comtes de Bell-lloc streets, and an imaginary line runs divides it into two-halves: the side with the even numbers belongs to the Sants-Montjuic district, while the side with the odd numbers, to the Corts district, leaving the square just in the middle of both districts. In the past, a roundabout very well-known by the people of Barcelona stood in the square of this metro station.
The Plaça del Centre station was inaugurated in 1975.
