Sant Adrià de Besòs

Sant Adrià de Besòs extends across both sides of the Besòs River estuary, forming part of the continuous urban fabric with Barcelona, Badalona, and Santa Coloma de Gramenet.

The origins trace back to 1012 with the establishment of a parish church, followed by an Augustinian priory in 1092 where Saint Olegarius served before becoming Bishop of Barcelona.

The History of Immigration Museum in Catalonia maintains a restored passenger railcar and documentation center, recording migration patterns from the 1950s and 1960s.

The municipality connects to surrounding areas through sixteen bus routes, tram services, and the Maresme Line commuter rail at Sant Adrià de Besòs railway station.

The air raid shelter at Francesc Macià Square functions as a museum, preserving memories of the Spanish Civil War and its effects on the local population.
