Sant Gervasi’s architecture tells a story of the past. It used to be a rural village when in the middle of the 19th century it was discovered by the Barcelonian bourgeoisie. And so urbanization began. In no more than 50 years Sant Gervasi became a residential zone while still keeping old ancestral houses that you will be seeing on this tour. Sant Gervasi is a rich neighborhood, and even though many modern buildings appeared, they were also able to well maintain their ancient ones. That preserved architecture now allow us to imagine part of history.
