Travessera de Gràcia

Its central part follows the outline of a medieval road, Via Francisca, documented in 1057.

Before 1867, it was known as Travesera, with the older spelling and no reference to the neighbourhood, since Gràcia was an independent village.

The street's other names include Orden and Solar.

[1] One of the main markets of the city in its heyday was also on this street: Mercat de l'Abaceria Central, which opened in 1892.

In Travessera de Gràcia number 9 are the headquarters of perfume and fashion company Puig.
