Can Peguera

Can Peguera is a neighborhood in the Nou Barris district of Barcelona, Catalonia (Spain).[2]

Developed in the early 20th century, it was originally established to provide affordable housing for workers, featuring single-storey houses known as "cases barates" (cheap houses). These structures were built on land that once belonged to the Can Peguera farmhouse, giving the neighborhood its name.[2]

The neighborhood's layout and architecture reflect Barcelona's working-class history, distinguishing it within the city's urban landscape.[3]

The neighborhood's proximity to other areas like La Guineueta and Turó de la Peira provides opportunities to explore the broader Nou Barris district.[4]
