About Sarrià
Where to stay in Sarrià
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Rooms here sit on the streets feeding Major de Sarrià, the neighbourhood's spine. Major de Sarrià sets the pace. Guests wanting quiet mornings and a park at the door look toward Parc del Castell de l'Oreneta, from where the streets lead back to Església de Sant Vicenç de Sarrià.
Anyone set on the heart of Barcelona will want a base in another district, since Sarrià trades that reach for residential quiet.
About Sarrià
What are the main landmarks in Sarrià?
Església de Sant Vicenç de Sarrià and the Sarrià Capuchins give the neighbourhood its religious anchors, joined by the Monestir de Sant Pere de les Puel·les among the catalogued buildings. Domestic architecture fills the list. Casa Orlandai, Casa Sastre i Marqués, Casa Piera and Can Raspall stand among a long roll of named residences.
Portal Miralles, Torre Lledó, Can Mestres and Teatre de Sarrià appear on the same register. Two works carry titles instead of addresses: Ofèlia ofegada and A Antoni Gaudí.
What is the history of Sarrià?
Sarrià kept its own name. The neighbourhood sits inside the Sarrià-Sant Gervasi district of Barcelona, in Catalonia, and Església de Sant Vicenç de Sarrià remains the church that carries the old settlement's name. Religious foundations left a mark too, with the Sarrià Capuchins and the Monestir de Sant Pere de les Puel·les both within its bounds.
Casa Orlandai and Teatre de Sarrià carry the civic and cultural side of that inheritance.
Where is Sarrià?
The neighbourhood runs off Major de Sarrià within the wider Sarrià-Sant Gervasi district, and Parc del Castell de l'Oreneta gives it open ground.
