Les Corts

Les Corts (District 4) is in western Barcelona and covers about 6 km², the third-smallest district by area. With about 81,600 residents in 2021 it has the smallest population of the ten districts. It borders Sarrià-Sant Gervasi, the Eixample and Sants-Montjuïc, and the towns of L'Hospitalet de Llobregat and Esplugues de Llobregat.

It has three neighbourhoods: Les Corts, La Maternitat i Sant Ramon and Pedralbes, which includes the Zona Universitària.

• The area was farmland until the 19th century and was urbanised later. The historic centre is a string of squares between Travessera de les Corts and Carrer de Deu i Mata.
• Camp Nou, FC Barcelona's stadium, is the district's best-known landmark; the former Camp de Les Corts stadium became a public park.
• The Zona Universitària in Pedralbes hosts university campuses, including the UPC's Campus Nord and the University of Barcelona.
• The district's festa major is held around 7 October.

• Metro L3 (Les Corts, Maria Cristina, Palau Reial, Zona Universitària).
• Metro L9 Sud at Zona Universitària, running towards L'Hospitalet and the airport.
• Trambaix T1, T2 and T3 along the Diagonal (Maria Cristina, Palau Reial, Zona Universitària).

Most homes are flats in residential blocks. Barcelona's rent caps apply; check the previous rent and reference index before signing. We do not cite a district-level rent figure.

The district has kept many parks and gardens, such as the Jardins de Can Batllori, and is home to universities and the Can Rosés library. School places are allocated by address through the city's admission system.
