Gràcia (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈɡɾasiə]), meaning "grace" (in English), is a district of the Mediterranean city of Barcelona, Spain, in the northeastern region of Catalonia. It comprises the barrios (neighborhoods) of Vila de Gràcia, Vallcarca i els Penitents, El Coll, La Salut and Camp d'en Grassot i Gràcia Nova. Gràcia is bordered by the districts of Eixample to the south, Sarrià-Sant Gervasi to the west, and Horta-Guinardó to the east. A vibrant and diverse enclave of Catalan life, Gràcia was an independent municipality for centuries before being formally annexed by Barcelona in 1897, as a part of the city's expansions.
