Can Peguera (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈkam pəˈɣeɾə], Spanish pronunciation: [ˈkam peˈɣeɾa]) 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 borders La Guineueta and Turó de la Peira.[citation needed]
