About la Nova Esquerra de l'Eixample
What are the main landmarks in la Nova Esquerra de l'Eixample?
La Nova Esquerra de l'Eixample is short on standout monuments of its own. Its streets are lined with housing and everyday shopfronts more than with sights, and the landmarks that pull visitors across Barcelona lie in other quarters of the city, outside this part of the Eixample. Not much here detains a tour.
The neighbourhood is a workaday slice of Barcelona, one piece of Catalunya's Eixample.
What is the history of la Nova Esquerra de l'Eixample?
La Nova Esquerra de l'Eixample began as part of one larger area, the Esquerra de l'Eixample, which it once formed together with l'Antiga Esquerra de l'Eixample. That single unit was later split in two. Out of the division came the two names that remain, la Nova Esquerra de l'Eixample and l'Antiga Esquerra de l'Eixample, each settling in as its own neighbourhood within Barcelona's Eixample.
The old boundary still echoes in what the quarters are called.
Where is la Nova Esquerra de l'Eixample?
La Nova Esquerra de l'Eixample sits within the Eixample district of Barcelona, in Catalunya, Spain, its edges set by the surrounding city streets.
