About Barri de les Corts
Where to stay in Barri de les Corts
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Barri de les Corts sits inside Barcelona, Spain. A room here puts guests in an unshowy, mainly residential pocket of the Catalan city, well away from the crowded historic core where most travellers to Barcelona choose to sleep. Daily life runs quiet.
Santa Maria del Remei, Can Deu and Torre Blanca stand among those streets, which is more heritage than the quarter's plain reputation suggests. Anyone who prefers a settled local address to sights on the doorstep can make Barri de les Corts a base and travel out across Catalunya from it.
About Barri de les Corts
What are the main landmarks in Barri de les Corts?
The listed buildings here run into the dozens. Santa Maria del Remei and the Església del Sant Àngel Custodi anchor the religious side, with the Parròquia de Maria Auxiliadora and the Sarrià Capuchins adding to it. Older houses and towers carry the rest, among them Can Deu, Casa Narcís Deu and the two towers of Torre Blanca and Torre Lluís Cucurny.
Not everything is old. The Pavelló de l'Espanya Industrial joins them, and the Blocs de la plaça Guernica are apartment blocks on the same heritage list rather than monuments.
What is the history of Barri de les Corts?
Barri de les Corts took its present form as the city of Barcelona spread outward. The area filled with streets of housing as the Catalan city grew and folded new ground into its map across the generations, ending up one district among the many that make up Barcelona in Catalunya. Les Corts is the name the neighbourhood still carries inside the wider les Corts district of Barcelona. Its story is understated.
Beyond that steady joining to the life of Barcelona the record is thin, and names like Can Deu and Can Ros de Mayol carry what little of it survives.
Where is Barri de les Corts?
