About Can Baró
What are the main landmarks in Can Baró?
Park Güell and its Gaudi House Museum stand within reach of Can Baró, the neighbourhood's best-known draws. Close by rise other landmarks of the Horta-Guinardó district: the house of Casa de les Altures, the grounds of Camp del Guinardó, and the Mirador de la Mitja lluna, a lookout point over the streets. The sanctuary of Mare de Déu del Coll sits nearby too.
Together they give Can Baró more heritage than its quiet streets first suggest.
What is the history of Can Baró?
Can Baró took shape in the Horta-Guinardó district as Barcelona spread outward. The neighbourhood's older buildings, among them Casa de les Altures and the sanctuary of Mare de Déu del Coll, survive from a time when this side of the Catalan city was far less built up than the streets that later filled in around them. Its layers still show.
The Mirador de la Mitja lluna looks out over blocks that grew up near Park Güell.
