Sant Felip Neri

An Argentine man I met in Barcelona told me to visit this place. He said it was a little-known plaza where Francisco Franco routinely executed his enemies, and that the walls were marked from that abuse. We first visited the place at 2:00am and took some pictures. A sign above a local's balcony which read 'STOP THE MUGGINGS' freaked us out a bit, and we left pretty quickly. Unfortunately, I inadvertantly deleted the images, and had to return the next day to get these ones you see here.
