Sant Marti

Sant Marti is an administrative district in the east of Barcelona, formerly the city's principal industrial area and since 2000 the site of the 22@ technology and design regeneration district.

Type
district
Status
An official administrative unit with a defined boundary.

Sant Marti was annexed in 1897 and was Barcelona's main industrial district. Much of it is now covered by the 22@ regeneration area, so the historic neighbourhood names and the current planning designations do not line up.
