Avinguda Meridiana, Barcelona
- Avinguda Meridiana, Barcelona
Avinguda Meridiana is a major avenue in Barcelona, Spain, spanning parts of the Sant Andreu, Nou Barris and Sant Martí northern districts of the city. Originally planned by Ildefons Cerdà in 1859 to be one of the two most important thoroughfares in Barcelona, its actual role hasn't been exactly so but still has become a much transited route linking Parc de la Ciutadella with northern parts of Barcelona, crossing Plaça de les Glòries in its way, where it meets other two major avenues: Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes and Avinguda Diagonal.
On June 19 1987 the Basque terrorist group ETA planted a bomb in the basement of a Hipercor hypermarket in this avenue that killed 21 people. 41 were injured [ [http://www.elmundo.es/elmundo/2004/02/18/espana/1077109349.html elmundo.es - Hipercor y Vic, los atentados más sangrientos de ETA en Cataluña ] ] .
