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.
