She was rushed to hospital after being found on the street near the club, called Input, in a state of shock. She had wounds to her head and knees.
Security guards found her at 5am on Saturday, about an hour after she had left the popular nightspot. The victim told them she had been hit on the head with a stone.
Detectives from Catalan police force Mossos d'Esquadra are reportedly leading the investigation into the shocking sexual assault.

DNA traces captured from the woman's underwear may also help them track down the rapists.
