By: Paula Caravaca, Darío Peralvo and Eli Belinchón

Introduction:-In 1950s: The number of inhabitants increased

-In the 60s, a new neighborhood called St. Ildefons appeared

-Sant Ildefons is a laboring and residential area

-There are a lot of small and high blocks of flats

-Before it was built, there were cereals, varied crops and acacias fields.

-The population consisted of people from other Spanish regions, especially Andalucía.

Immigration-In the last years our neighborhood received a “boost” of immigration, especially from Morocco and South America.

A good example of the amount immigration can be seen just looking at our high school classes:

1st grade of ESO

facilities of the neighborhood -Torre de la Miranda

-Ambulatorio (Health Centre)

- The civic centre

-The library

-The sports hall

-The market

La Torre de la Miranda:La Torre de la Miranda (in English Miranda’s Tower) was built by Arnau Mercader, a count who lived in theneighborhood in the 17th century.He ordered its construction because he wanted to observe birds.

Ambulatorio:It’s the clinic of the neighborhood.

The civic centreIt is the place where people go to do activities, to attend conferences… It is a place where people make social life.

The library:It is the newest library of the city. It has an auditorium, too. People go there to do homework, read, or maybe relax.

The sports hall:It is where people do physical activities (football, basketball, go dancing…)

On the top of this building, there is a block of flats.

The market:This market is one of the best markets which are in the town of Cornellà. People normally go there to buy food (meat, fish, vegetables, etc.)
