It is a tribute to the women of the district and their struggle for the right to equality and non-discrimination, the improvement of quality of life and social cohesion. It is one of the interventions that the City Council carries out to make visible the presence of women in the public and social life of Nou Barris. In fact, the square is the result of the direct collaboration between the District Government and the women of Roquetes in all the phases of the project, from the design of the environment to the choice of the name, which has been chosen by the own neighbors of the district.

It contains a large green space with an itinerary adapted for people with reduced mobility. In the green zone trees and shrubs have been planted, and street furniture has been placed to facilitate the stay of users in an area of ​​the deficit neighborhood of public spaces and social communication areas for the neighbors. In addition, there is an adapted children's play area, and automatic irrigation and led street lighting have been installed. The purpose is to link and create a continuity between the Pla de Fornells park and the adjacent facilities located the upper part of the district, and the civic axis of the surroundings of the Montserrat market.

The green area will be structured into several paths that will delimit garden beds with trees and shrubs that communicate, through an adapted route, the unevenness between the upper and lower parts of the area.
As for the trees, there are maples and linden trees, and they are accompanied by holm oaks and tufts in the sunniest places. There are also shrub species in the flower beds, and in the wall and uneven areas, virgin vineyards that adapt perfectly to the environment.

An Urban Sustainable Drainage System (SUDS) has been installed in this square. This action has managed to capture 100% of the rainwater for a return period of 10 years (heavy torrential rain) on a street with a long longitudinal slope of 12%. It is based on placing bioretention areas between the road and the sidewalk. The first waters are retained in these vegetated areas where the pollutants are retained. When the flow begins to rise, they enter a device of hollow polyethylene structures that allow infiltration based on the permeability of the terrain. This sustainable alternative can be extrapolated to other streets and cities.
The structures are modular of recycled polypropylene and serve to create empty spaces of different shapes and benefits located under or inside permeable materials designed to capture the water filtered through these porous materials and increase their capacity to accumulate . The goal is to reduce the city's impervious surfaces, increase permeability and recover the ability to filter, retain and accumulate rainwater, thus recovering the "sponge effect" of vegetation and natural soil.
