The Antiga Esquerra de l’Eixample, one of the most established and residential areas of Barcelona, offers a unique setting where history and modernity coexist in perfect harmony. This emblematic neighborhood developed around the parish of Sant Josep Oriol and the neo-Romanesque building of the University of Barcelona (UB), designed in 1882 by Elies Rogent, marking the beginning of urban expansion in this part of the Eixample.
At the end of the 19th century, the neighborhood began to expand westward, crossing the old railway tracks, around the popular gastronomic hub of Ninot. Its name comes from a tavern decorated with a figurine and endures today in the Ninot Market, inaugurated in 1935, which has become a commercial and culinary landmark of the city.
Today, the Antiga Esquerra de l’Eixample is one of the most sought-after areas for those looking for apartments for sale in Barcelona, particularly within the Eixample district. With a wide range of housing, from modernist apartments to contemporary design flats, this neighborhood has established itself as a key location for luxury real estate agencies in Barcelona.
