Plaça Salvador Segui.

As a child, Salvador Segui sold sugared sweets in the bars and cafés of the Barrio chino, which gave him the nickname of "noi de sucre". Self educated, the young Segui was a constant presence in debates on philosophy, culture and politics held regularly in the bars of the Raval, famed as much for his oratory skills as for his flamboyant fashion sense. He quickly rose the prominence in the anarchist trade union, the Confederacion Nacional del Trabaj (CNT)
Segui was a moederate anarchist who opposed the terrorism favoured by extremist and revolutionary sections of the CNT that hoped to use the strikes as a prelude to revolution.
He argued that anarchism was "not only an arm to overthrow the sate, but a means to build a new, better society". However, his moderate views were his undoing. On sunday 10 march1923, Segui was shot dead, the most eminent of the 464 victims killed in the gun warfare waged between employers and unions from 1918 to 1923.
Placa Segui is located in the district of Raval, which is an old district of Barcelona.
