In the middle of the Plaza Reial, close to the fountain, you can find the six-torch lanterns designed by Gaudi in 1876 as part of the modernization of the middle-age quartier. These, and the three-torch lanterns also by Gaudi that are in Pla de Palau were the first electric lanterns in Barcelona. The torches in Plaça Reial are headed by a helmet, symbolising the heroism of Catalan middle-age conquerors.
