Plaça de Sant Felip Neri is a small square in the Gothic Quarter in the district of Ciutat Vella. The square takes its name from the Church of Saint Philip Neri, which presides over the square.
To the right of the church is the School of Saint Felip Neri which uses the square as a playground. To the left of the church is a house used by the Oratory of Saint Philip Neri. In the centre of the square is an octagonal fountain, dedicated as a symbol of life. The architecture of the square and surrounding buildings is in the medieval Baroque-style.
