These squares housed the Town Hall and Market; the latter attracted merchants and craftsmen, spanning the commercial zone that still exists. Elderly residents still remember the Icart perfume factory, on the corner of Carrer Balmes and Vilarós, one of the neighbourhood’s few industries. Many workers came from other areas of Barcelona on the number 17 tram, whose last stop was here in what was once known as Plaça de la Constitució [Constitution Square] and is now Plaça Joaquim Folguerola. Outdoor cinema sessions used to be held in summer, in the empty plot left behind after the factory was torn down, , which became the site of Spain’s first automated nativity scene in the 1940s. It was also used for holding the Sant Gervasi neighbourhood’s big festival (Sant Medir), an event with a long tradition behind it in the neighbourhood and which is now celebrated throughout the city. Following a tradition that goes back over 150 years, members of the Colla de Romeus l’Antiga de Sant Medir ride their horses through the streets every 3 March, on their way to the Chapel of Sant Medir in Sant Cugat.
