The '''Eixample''' ({{IPA|ca|əˈʃamplə|label=[[Catalan language|Catalan]]:}}, {{gloss|Expansion}}) is a district of [[Barcelona]] between the old city ([[Ciutat Vella]]) and what were once surrounding small towns ([[Sants]], [[Gràcia]], [[Sant Andreu]], etc.), constructed in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Its population was 262,000 at the last census (2005).<ref>[http://densityatlas.org/casestudies/profile.php?id=92 Variations in Population Density within Barcelona]. Retrieved 18 September 2016</ref>
