1920 Segui City Plan or Map of Barcelona, Spain

This is a c. 1920 Segui city plan or map of Barcelona, Spain, and its environs. With the Mediterranean at the bottom of the sheet and part of the Catalan Pre-Coastal Range at the top, Barcelona fills the plain between the sea and the mountains. Central Barcelona is illustrated in detail, with streets (even minor ones) labeled. Hospitals, churches, and other sites are identified, including the Hospital Santa Cruz and the Mercado de San José. Outside Barcelona's old town center (and the centers of the older suburbs), a street grid dominates, contrasting the old, organic city building with modern urban planning. The Besos River cuts diagonally through the right side and separates Santa Coloma de Gramanet from the rest of the burgeoning metropolis.
