Barcelona |
Sant Gervasi is one of the biggest districts of Barcelona, situated in the southwest of the city, surrounded by the districts of Les Corts, Gràcia, L'Eixample, and Horta-Guinardo, and by the villages of Sant Just, Sant Feliu, Molins de Rei and Sant Cugat. The first written document found about Sarrià dates from the year 987, and the origins of the village are a Roman colony. Nowadays, Sarrià is still a small village in the middle of Barcelona, with narrow streets and lovely houses, although the city pressure is hurting this image by constructing large modern buildings in the place of small houses. Part of the Collserola mountain belongs to the district, where the Tibidabo and the Obervatori Fabra are located, and it is a popular place to promenade by bike or by foot, or look out at the impressive views over the city.
