Ideal apartment to share in Sagrada Familia

Eixample: Location and surroundings of this property

Until the middle of the 19th century, what is now the Sagrada Familia neighborhood was a group of agricultural lands, on the border of the former independent municipality of San Martín de Provensals with the city of Barcelona. Except for the isolated presence of some farmhouses, it was an unpopulated territory until the first urbanizations began in the sixties of the 19th century. They were, originally, humble dwellings -barracks and first floor houses- that were concentrated between what today are the streets of Marina and Paseo de San Juan. This neighborhood was originally known as the neighborhood of El Poblet ("the little village"), a name that was lost during the 20th century in favor of La Sagrada Familia, in reference to the church, whose construction began in 1882. In 1897 the village of San Martín de Provensals, and with it, the neighborhood of El Poblet, was added to the city of Barcelona. That same year, and after decades of isolation, Valencia Street was extended to connect the center of El Poblet with the center of Barcelona. The main monument of the neighborhood and the one that gives it its name is the basilica of the Sagrada Familia. Begun in 1882, it is still under construction. It is considered the masterpiece of the architect Antoni Gaudí, and the maximum exponent of Catalan modernist architecture, being the most visited monument in Spain.
