Sant Narcís

Sant Narcís is a residential district in Girona with uniform apartment blocks arranged around a central square that holds the Parish Church. The neighborhood features a regular street layout with front gardens integrated into each block.

The neighborhood was built in the 1950s to accommodate workers during Girona's industrial growth period. Its modernist design was created to provide efficient housing quickly for the expanding workforce.

The neighborhood gathers for celebrations honoring its patron saint, where residents participate in traditional Catalan music and dance performances in the streets and squares.

The area is close to Girona's train station and connects to the city center via bus routes. Streets are wide and easily walkable, with clear pathways between residential blocks.

The district was designed with identical two-story houses featuring front gardens, a rare approach in Mediterranean neighborhoods that creates a distinctive repeated pattern. This unified design was intended to ensure fairness and equal living standards among residents.
