The name comes from the Basílica de Santa Maria del Pi and from Saint Sant Josep Oriol, who is buried there. The two squares are consecutive; one leads into the other. In Sant Josep Oriol, there is a sculpture of Àngel Guimerà, a very important writer representative of a Catalan cultural movement called La Renaixença (19th century). There are often art markets and food markets here, as well as musicians playing and singing in the street, and people listening to them from the terraces of the many pleasant cafés surrounding the two squares.
