Sant Martí

Sant Martí (District 10) is in the east of Barcelona, bordering Sant Adrià de Besòs, Ciutat Vella, the Eixample, Horta-Guinardó, Sant Andreu and the Mediterranean. It covers about 10.4-10.8 km² and had about 241,200 residents in 2021, making it the city's second most populous district.

Its ten neighbourhoods are El Camp de l'Arpa del Clot, El Clot, El Parc i la Llacuna del Poblenou, La Vila Olímpica del Poblenou, El Poblenou, Diagonal Mar i el Front Marítim del Poblenou, El Besòs i el Maresme, Provençals del Poblenou, Sant Martí de Provençals and La Verneda i la Pau.

• The district takes its name from the former municipality of Sant Martí de Provençals, independent from 1714 until it was annexed to Barcelona in 1897.
• Poblenou industrialised from the 18th century; by 1888 it had 243 factories, which made it a working-class district. Its identity is still shaped by this industrial past.
• The city council describes 22@Barcelona as its innovation district and one of three major urban transformation projects; the Barcelona International Welcome Desk is located there (Carrer de Roc Boronat, 117).
• The district holds most of Barcelona's beaches, along about 2.7 km of coastline.

• Metro L4 along the coast (Ciutadella-Vila Olímpica, Bogatell, Llacuna, Poblenou, Selva de Mar, El Maresme-Fòrum, Besòs Mar, Besòs).
• Metro L2 (Encants, Bac de Roda, Sant Martí, La Pau) and L1 (Glòries).
• Tram T4 (stops include Ciutadella-Vila Olímpica, Glòries, Selva de Mar and El Maresme-Fòrum) and T5 (Glòries, Besòs).

Housing varies widely between the district's ten neighbourhoods, from the former industrial streets of Poblenou to the seafront areas. Barcelona's rent caps apply; check the previous rent and reference index before signing. We do not cite a district-level rent figure.

The beaches are the district's main open space, and the inland neighbourhoods have their own schools, markets and services. School places are allocated by address through the city's admission system.
