Sant Andreu de Palomar

History: Around the 8th century, in a document of towns near Barcelona, Sant Andreu de Palomar was mentioned.

It is known that there have been three religious buildings in the history of the town (all Roman Catholic): the primitive "Ermita de San Andres", Hermitage of the Segadors (reapers in English, named after the revolt of the reapers of the Catalan peasants against the Hispanic monarchy) which is currently abandoned and the church of Sant Andreu which continues today.

With the New Plant Decrees (made by Philip V to eliminate the Catalan language, culture and institutions) he made the town of San Andres de Palomar official (in Spanish, for the elimination of the Catalan language) In the 19th century, during the industrial revolution, the famous Fabra i Coats textile factory came into operation.

During Franco's dictatorship, a large part of its territory was taken away, creating the Nou Barris district (nine neighborhoods).

During the patron saint festivities, in the church, a banner is displayed that says SANT ANDREU IS NOT BARCELONA.
