A large district made up of octagonal blocks with chamfered corners concentrates many of the city’s most architecturally valuable buildings. Conceived by the engineer and town planner Ildefons Cerdà, the Eixample is the result of the bourgeois splendour enjoyed by the Barcelona of the second half of the 19th century and the desire to dispense with the city's medieval past to become a modern metropolis.
