In the Middle Ages, the lands located outside the walls of Barcelona were areas of agricultural use, and near the walls could not be built because it was considered a military zone.

Pueblo Seco Quarter by Gratis in Barcelona

In 1751 the construction of the Montjuïc's Castle began. With the arrival of new manufacturing activities starting the second half of the eighteenth century, came several spectacular changes to an area that we now know as the neighborhood of Pueblo Seco (Poble Sec in Catalan).

The medieval walls of Barcelona were demolished in 1854 and the expansion plan, the one created by the Eixample District, did not include this area of the Pueblo Seco, as its steep slopes were not considered an interesting area for construction.

The owners of these lands took advantage of this to urbanize the sector without so strict regulations from the larger urbanization plan.

From 1858 onwards, the construction of simple buildings began, with the birth of the first workers' settlements such as the Satalia, the Santa Madrona or the San Bertrán's Orchards.

This neighborhood, enclosed between the Barcelona's Port, the Spain Square , the Paralelo Avenue, it is immensely lucky to have it in its heart, the city's largest green lung: the Montjuïc Mountain.
