What to do in Sant Antoni

Sant Antoni turns around its market: an iron building from 1882 that fills an entire Eixample block and reopened in 2018, after nine years of work during which a stretch of seventeenth-century wall and a Civil War air-raid shelter surfaced underneath. On Sunday mornings it fills with second-hand books and comics. If you have a few hours, this is the Eixample at neighbourhood scale.

Sant Antoni is a neighbourhood in the Eixample district.

Get to know Sant Antoni

From the 1882 market to what turned up underneath, in three steps.

The 1882 Sant Antoni market is an iron structure filling a whole Eixample block; it reopened in 2018 after nine years of works.

On Sunday mornings the market turns into a fair of second-hand books, comics and trading cards, a habit dating back to the 1930s.

The works uncovered, under the market, a stretch of the 17th-century city wall and a Civil War air-raid shelter.
