Description

This quarter is located below Diagonal Avenue and above Sants. Long ago, it was an independent village like most of the places, which have now become quarters in Barcelona. There are still some remains of the old village, for instance in the plaça del Carme. This square and its surroundings lie at the center of the old village of Les Corts, annexed to Barcelona in the year 1867. The square is now full of huge residential blocks. The football ground of Fútbol Club Barcelona is also found in this quarter, in the Aristides Maillol Avenue.
