The district of Sarrià

Residència Universitària Sarrià

District

Sarrià-Sant Gervasi is an affluent residential area with numerous parks and green zones, combined with prestigious educational and health centres.

It is Barcelona's main point of access to Collserola Park, the most important green area of the city.

Today, Sarrià combines corners that are still reminiscent of tits former rural village status, especially around calle Major de Sarrià, with the city's modern areas and the wide arteries.

A little history

Sarrià In the 15th century it was already a sizeable rural community. In the 16th and 17th centuries it acquired certain importance when it became a popular place for the Barcelona citizens to build their summer homes. After 1850 Sarrià ceased to be rural and by the beginning of the 20th century it had become one of Barcelona's most wealthy districts. Sarrià , which joined the city of Barcelona by royal decree, was the last village to become part of the city.
