El Coll is one of the five neighborhoods that form the district of Gràcia, located between Vallcarca i els Penitents, La Salut, La Teixonera and El Carmel, the last two neighborhoods belonging to the Horta-Guinardó district.
Located three hundred meters above sea level, El Coll is a mountain area with little more than seven thousand inhabitants.
El Coll was an area that was frequently used by the noble people to hunt, but it was transformed into a residential area full of fine houses, in the beginning of the twentieth century. Shortly after, El Coll became the site of a “building fever”, having every single empty space occupied by new constructions.
