Gràcia, Administrative district in northern Barcelona, Spain.

The narrow streets and numerous squares within Gracia create a pattern resembling a medieval village with many small independent shops and cafes.

Founded in the 17th century by Carmelite monks, Gracia maintained independence until 1897 when Barcelona incorporated it during the Eixample district construction.

The district presents strong Catalan identity through language use in local establishments and annual events like the Festa Major street decoration competition.

With a population density of 28,660 inhabitants per square kilometer, Gracia maintains extensive public transport connections to central Barcelona and Park Güell.

Five distinct neighborhoods form Gracia: Vila de Gracia, Camp d'en Grassot, La Salut, El Coll, and Vallcarca i els Penitents, each with specific characteristics.
