About Sant Antoni
What are the main landmarks in Sant Antoni?
Sant Antoni sits within reach of some of Barcelona's largest collections. The Montjuïc hill above carries the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, the Fundació Joan Miró, and CaixaForum Barcelona, while the Filmoteca de Catalunya and MACBA Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art lie a short walk toward El Raval. The range is wide.
Sant Pau del Camp stands close by.
What is the history of Sant Antoni?
Sant Antoni grew up on the inland edge of old Barcelona, outside the line of the medieval walls. The oldest layers of the area sit close by, from the Roman city of Barcino in the old town to the old church of Sant Pau del Camp on the edge of El Raval. Much of its own record is modest.
The district's story tracks the spread of Barcelona beyond its former gates.
