The Rambla de Catalunya has always been a street noted for its art galleries, theatres and cinemas. Some of which have disappeared or been transformed with the passing of the years, but there are still two cinemas on the street.[1]
Unfortunately the Teatre Barcelona, once one of the most iconic theatres in the city, has had to be pulled down.[citation needed]
Like the more famous La Rambla, the Rambla de Catalunya has a wide central pedestrianised area. This is flanked by two narrow service roads, which in turn are flanked by narrow pedestrian walkways in front of the buildings. Unlike La Rambla, the central pedestrian walkway is interrupted by cross-streets.[3]
