The church's facade was designed by Joan Rubió i Bellver, who worked extensively with Antoni Gaudí.
The wooden tram passing through the square dates back to 1913 and was originally designed to transport oranges.
The square is colloquially referred to by locals as 'Sa Plaça'.
The bank building bordering the square, Banco de Sóller, also features a facade by Joan Rubió.
The square's plane trees are regularly pruned to maintain a specific canopy shape that shades the outdoor dining areas.
Plaça de la Constitució serves as the primary social and architectural heart of the town of Sóller in Mallorca. The square is dominated by the church of Sant Bartomeu, featuring a modernist façade designed by a disciple of Antoni Gaudí. A distinctive wooden tram line passes directly through the center of the square, connecting the town to the port of Sóller. The space is filled with outdoor café seating arranged around a central fountain and shade-providing plane trees. It is surrounded by historic townhouses reflecting the wealth generated by 19th-century citrus trade with France. The square functions as the central hub for local festivals and community life. The architecture represents a blend of Baroque foundations with later Art Nouveau interventions.
