Sants

Sants

Sants is a neighbourhood of Barcelona, in the southern zone of the city. It belongs to the district of Sants-Montjuïc, and is bordered by the districts of Eixample to the northeast, Les Corts to the northwest, and by the municipality of Hospitalet de Llobregat to the south.

Sants is a neighbourhood with a clear identity, a consequence of its historical origins: it was an independent village until 1897, when it became part of Barcelona. By then, Sants had a census of 19,105 habitants, and the neighbourhood had a strong industrial character, hosting some of the most important textile factories of the Spanish state, as "la España Industrial" or "el Vapor Vell".
