Carrer del Consell de Cent, Barcelona

Carrer del Consell de Cent (official Catalan name; Spanish: Calle del Consejo de Ciento) is a long avenue in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. It's one of the horizontal streets of the urban grid that makes up Eixample district, spanning the Esquerra de l'Eixample and the Dreta de l'Eixample quarters, starting at the Parc de Joan Miró by carrer de Vilamarí and ending in the neighbourhood of El Clot, by Avinguda Meridiana, in the Sant Martí district.

Carrer del Consell de Cent.

It's named after one of Catalonia's ancient government institutions: the Consell de Cent, the "Council of a Hundred", based in Barcelona. The street's name was approved in 1900, and has never officially changed (but the name has indeed changed of official language). Its original denomination on Ildefons Cerdà's plan, however, was Ll[1] (a separate letter in the Spanish alphabet before 1994).

Remarkable architecture

Casa Josep Cerdà (19th century) by Antoni Valls Galí - The first four buildings that followed Ildefons Cerdà's now famous urban plan were on the corner between carrer de Roger de Llúria and Consell de Cent. Casa Josep Cerdà, on Consell de Cent 340, is a fine example of eclectic architecture, remarkable for its ornate façade.[2]
Convent i Col·legi de Maria Immaculada (1888–1910) by Josep Pérez Terraza with additions by Enric Sagnier i Villavecchia - This religious building is a mixture of modern architecture with neogothic elements.
Església i Convent de les Adoratrius (19th century) by Joan Martorell Montells - Small church and convent in the neo-gothic style.[3]
