This square gets its name from the legend surrounding the removal of St. Eulalia's remains from Santa Maria del Mar to the cathedral. Supposedly the martyred saint's body suddenly became too heavy to carry, and an angel appeared in the square pointing a finger at one of the church officials, who, it turned out, had secretly stolen one of Eulalia's toes. The angel statue was placed in the square in the 17th century to commemorate the event. It's now in the Museu d'Història de la Ciutat.

I like this square very much because when I was a baby I lived near the square and It reminds me about things from my childhood. I remember going to the baker's to buy bread and cakes on Sunday mornings with my father. I liked the smell of the shop and my father used to buy me a special sweet.
