About Avinguda Diagonal

📍 ⛅ Partly cloudy 20°C now

Avinguda Diagonal (Catalan: [əβiŋˈɡuðə ði.əɣuˈnal]; Spanish: Avenida Diagonal; transl. 'Diagonal Avenue') is the name of one of Barcelona's broadest and most important avenues. It cuts the city in two, diagonally with respect to the grid pattern of the surrounding streets, hence the name. It was originally projected by engineer and urban planner Ildefons Cerdà as one of the city's wide avenues, which along with Avinguda Meridiana would cut the rationalist grid he designed for Eixample (Catalan for 'Expansion'). Both would meet at Plaça de les Glòries Catalanes, which Cerdà envisioned as the new city centre. However, Plaça Catalunya, equally a new addition to the city of Barcelona, and connecting Ciutat Vella and Eixample, and therefore occupying a more privileged position in the urban area, would finally become the centre.
