It is bounded by Carrer d’Ardena, Carrer de Joan d’Alòs, Torrent de la Barrina and the path to Finestrelles. It was built as a consequence of the social concern of certain institutions connected to Falange Española Tradicionalista y de las JONS. It was the first building constructed by ‘Obra sindical del Hogar’ in Barcelona. The building work, which also involved the urban development of the area, started in 1948 and lasted until the 1960s. After the return to democracy, local residents were strongly committed to having their neighbourhood renamed, to cut its ties with the recently ended dictatorship. They came up with the name of one of the city’s two co-patron saints. Its houses, all single storeyed, are found in little streets constructed along an irregular layout to fit in with their sloping terrain. It is this distribution that makes the area so unique. Passers-by feel like they have temporarily left the city.
