"The Mercat de Sant Josep de la Boqueria, often simply referred to as La Boqueria is a large public market in the Ciutat Vella district of Barcelona and one of the city's foremost tourist landmarks, with an entrance from La Rambla, not far from the Liceu, Barcelona's opera house. The market has a very diverse selection of goods." (

The sign is made of cast iron and stained glass. It shows the Barcelona Coat of Arms surmonted with the former Crown of Aragon with the bat as a heraldic symbol and the writing: "Mercat St Josep La Boqueria".
We visited La Boqueria on July 2015 and we were not alone as attested by our pictures. There is a picture of the sign on the above Wikipedia Website link.
