Within the urban framework of Barcelona, lies La Sagrera, a neighborhood with deep roots. Part of the San Andrés district, this 0.97 km² neighborhood was home to 28,796 inhabitants in 2016.
Despite belonging to District IX, known as Sant Andreu, La Sagrera maintains a special connection with San Andrés de Palomar, beyond its historical link with Sant Martí de Provençals.
The name "La Sagrera" evokes its original purpose in the 11th century: to protect the peasants of Catalonia from noble threats. The "sagreres," safe areas around churches, sheltered people and their belongings. The "sagrers," small buildings constructed in these areas, stored the community's harvests and possessions. Thus, the La Sagrera neighborhood was born as a refuge in Sant Martí de Provençals.
