Barcelona >> Ciutat Vella >> Sant Pere

Sant Pere - Musical Palace and Palatial Market

East of El Born another Ciutat Vella neighbourhood is experiencing a transformation of its own and emerging as an area where a medieval past and urban renewal intermingle. Sant Pere was home of the textile industry in Barcelona (Catalunya was one of the first industrialised regions of Europe), which is still evident in the main street of Saint Pere Més Baix, where the locals come to shop. This is also one of the more multi-cultural areas of Ciutat Vella with other cultures mixing with the traditional Catalan way of life. And, like El Raval it is an area that has undergone a major “facelift” in the last few years. Sant Pere has the privilege of being a quite calm, residential area with a close proximity to the Ciutat Vella neighbourhoods that have a more vivid nightlife. To enjoy this side of Barcelona you need only step across the Via Laietana into the Barri Gòtic –the Gothic Quarter-, or stroll a couple of blocks towards the sea into El Born.

As a visitor the main draw of the area are two architectural sites worth a closer look: The Palau de la Música and the recently renovated/reconstructed Mercat de Santa Caterina; the first being a prime example of the city’s main architectural “claim to fame”: modernisme, and the latter an intriguing monument to the city’s knack for modernising a traditional structure (in this case: the market). Parts of a Dominican Monastery believed to date back to 1241 have been preserved for public display within the market itself as an example of this strategy of modernising within a historical framework. This project of architect Enric Miralles was a focal-point for an exhibition on Spanish architecture at The Museum of Modern Art in New York in 2006, another testament to this architectural achievement. Sant Pere might not be as familiar to travellers as its more illustrious neighbours El Born and Barri Gotic, but has an atmosphere of its own well worth taking in and a no less central location.
