Barcelona, with a population census of 1,593,075 on 1 January 2005, is divided into ten administrative districts, each one with its own district council, which allows a decentralised, local administration, closer to the residents.
The ten city districts are Ciutat Vella, Eixample, Sants-Montjuïc, Les Corts, Sarrià-Sant Gervasi, Gràcia, Horta-Guinardó, Nou Barris, Sant Andreu and Sant Martí.
This division of the city has its roots based on the history of the city.
Ciutat Vella is the old centre of the city and the Eixample is where the city expanded after the city walls were knocked down.
The other districts correspond to municipal areas which were around the old city, outside the walls, and which became part of Barcelona during the 19th and 20th centuries.Each district is divided into different wards, each with its own personality and historic traditions. We have properties for sale in many of the areas of Barcelona, especially Borne, Gracia, Barceloneta and San Gervasi. Please contact us for more property details: info@casahomesearch.com
