History

In 1964 the real estate agency Inmobiliaria Ciudad Condal S.A. (ICC) initiated the construction of this neighbourhood as it stands nowadays, beside the hermitage, on land which had been bought from local farmers. It was designed as a residential area to house the large number of people who came to Catalonia and Barcelona from elsewhere in Spain in the 1960s to work in the bustling automotive industry.
