Established in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it is known for its elegant architecture, characterized by aristocratic mansions and bourgeois dwellings built in various styles, including neoclassical and modernist.
During the Franco regime, it was known as the "Zona Nacional" due to its concentration of residents with sympathies towards the regime.
Today, the area is a vibrant mix of residential and commercial spaces, boasting a variety of high-end boutiques, trendy restaurants, and the historic Mercat de Colón, a landmark art nouveau building housing an upscale food market and various cafes and restaurants.
