Places of Interest |
Very close to here is the Men’s Penitentiary Centre of Barcelona, better known as the Model, a prison located between Provença, Entença, Rosselló and Nicaragua streets. Inaugurated in 1904, it was one of the pioneer centres within the new penitentiary system of the time, and is one of the symbols of political repression of the Franco era, as some of its inmates belonged to the political, social and cultural life of Catalonia. There are plans for the prison to be relocated to other grounds, and the present space of 12.000 m2, which takes up two blocs of the Eixample, will be turned into a school, a sports centre, as well as a centre for the elderly and a civic centre, and there will also be an area which will host a memorial in remembrance of the jails that the city has had.
