The Barcelona Street Naming Commission is the municipal body tasked with managing new names for public spaces, changes to names and the installation of memory elements in the city.

Ten new names

The first act by the street naming commission in 2025 approved the following:

• In Les Corts: in the neighbourhood of Pedralbes, the name of the Jardins de Torre Girona has been given to the gardens between the streets of Jordi Girona and Ignasi de Solà-Morales i Rubió, and in the neighbourhood of Les Corts official recognition has been given to the name of Parc de la Colònia Castells for the urban park between the streets of Castells and Montnegre.
• In Horta-Guinardó: the name of Plaça de Mossèn Francesc Lladós has been given to the space between the streets of Segur and Trueba, recognising the work of the former rector of the church of Sant Celebrià, who together with local organisations drove change in this area. The name highlights his role in promoting the activity of associations in the neighbourhood of La Teixonera.
• In Sant Martí: the Barcelona photographer Carme Garcia, who stands out for her political photographs of the 1930s, gives her name to a square in Poblenou, between C/ Pamplona and Passatge de la Vinyassa.
• In Sants-Montjuïc: the name of Parc de Can Batlló, between Gran Via and the streets of Constitució and Mossèn Amadeu Oller, in the neighbourhood of La Bordeta, is now official. In the same area, Plaça de Josep Xarles recognises this social and cultural activist who was a founder and the first chair of the Sants social centre. Nearby, between the streets of Mossèn Amadeu Oller and Bartomeu Pi, another square remembers the participation and neighbourhood activity of the activist Anselm Cartañà. The Valencian poet and playwright Assumpta González gives her name to the passage between Av. Carrilet and C/ Quetzal. The writer lived in Sants, where she directed the Orfeó and Escola d’Art Dramàtic. And, finally, the former park of Can Clos is now called Parc del Tren de la Potassa, a railway that for a century was used to transport potassium salt from Súria and which ran through the neighbourhood of La Marina de Port.
• In Nou Barris: the name of Jardins de Rodrigo Caro also gained definitive approval. These gardens feature Mediterranean-climate vegetation from the five continents and is located in the neighbourhood of Les Roquetes, between the streets of Turó de les Roquetes and Artesania.

Three information panels and a memory plaque

The commission also approved the installation of historical memory information panels and a plaque highlighting events and characters in the city:

• In Sants-Montjuïc, at C/ Vilardell, 23, an information panel remembers the bombardments of Hostafrancs during the Spanish Civil War.
• In Sants-Montjuïc: another information panel remembers the location of the Torre de Suècia, which formed part of the pavilion for the Expo in 1929 and was transferred to Begur in the 1930s.
• In Sant Martí: another information panel remembers the anti-Francoist struggle and educational task of the now disappeared Acadèmia Vila del Clot in the central section of the current Rambla de Guipúscoa, at the junction with C/ Clot.
• In Sants-Montjuïc: a plaque will be installed in the square by the former church of Sant Medir, at C/ Constitució, 52, noting that between the years of 1949 and 1960 the first church of Sant Medir was a cornerstone of community life in the neighbourhood of La Bordeta.
