Sants

Sants is a district and neighborhood in Barcelona, Spain. It forms part of the district of Sants-Montjuïc and lies to the southwest of the city's historic center, near Montjuïc hill. The area developed from rural hamlets incorporated into Barcelona during the 19th century and grew rapidly with the expansion of the railway and industry.

Barcelona Sants, the main railway station serving the city, is located in the area and acts as a major transport hub. It links long-distance and regional trains and connects with the city’s metro and bus networks. The station is served by L3 and L5 of the Barcelona Metro and is a gateway for visitors and commuters alike.

Landmarks and facilities in Sants-Montjuïc include the Mercat de Sants, Parc de l'Espanya Industrial, and easy access to Montjuïc attractions such as the Magic Fountain, Montjuïc Castle, and the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya. The adjacent Poble-sec neighborhood adds cultural venues and a range of dining and nightlife options.

Today, Sants is a densely populated, working-class district undergoing ongoing redevelopment and increased transit integration, while preserving industrial heritage and neighborhood character.
