La Sagrera

La Sagrera keeps closer links with Sant Andreu del Palomar than with other nearby neighborhoods.

[citation needed] This name La Sagrera dates to the 11th century when the farmers of Catalonia lived under the feudal system.

The Abbot Oliba, seeing the need to protect farmers, created a space of 30 acres around the churches in which people and goods would be secured from assault.

The transformation of the neighbourhood continues, particularly with Sagrera railway station, currently under constriction, which will link up the Barcelona Metro with local, regional and high-speed rail, with urban buses and with taxi services.

The neighbourhood of La Sagrera is well-supported by underground transport, with rodalia R3 and R4, plus Metro lines L1, L5, L9 and L10, (the last two under construction).
