The "Parc Jean Miro" with sculpture "Dona i Ocell" (Woman and Bird) is close to Plaça d'Espanya. The colorful figure of ceramic fracture was built in 1982. Who wants to see more of the famous Catalan artists, should visit the Miro Museum on Montjuic.

When the monastery on the square was destroyed during the Spanish Civil War, a Roman cemetery with well-preserved tombs was found. In 2003, the square Plaça de la Vila de Madrid was redesigned by BCQ architects. The Roman necropolis can be reached via a bridge that spans the square.
