It is in Fort Pienc, in the central district of Eixample, at the busy intersection of Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes and Passeig de Sant Joan. The square is named after the 1860 Battle of Tétouan, the siege and occupation of the Moroccan city of Tetuan by general Joan Prim and Catalan volunteers. It was formerly called Hermenegildo Giner de los Ríos.
