A stroll through Poble-sec is a journey back in time to a key moment in the history of Barcelona. It is a reading of the fragments of its past, before the city would break free of the walls that encircled it and a time when the foothills of Montjuïc were still interwoven with fields of crops and quarries. And it is also an opportunity to witness the area’s transformation into a modern and industrial district, a place that would provide shelter for the city’s newcomers and recreation for everyone.
