Gràcia Village Grid
Gràcia resisted annexation for years. The street names still carry the political argument. Walk the plaças in order and you're walking the memory of municipal resistance.
An independent municipality until 1897, when it was forcibly annexed by Barcelona. The street grid and plaça system still maps the old village structure.
