About Caixabank | 1 Plaça de Molina in Barcelona

This CaixaBank branch sits right on Plaça Molina, one of the quiet civic anchors of Sant Gervasi — the well-heeled uptown district that grew from a 19th-century village into Barcelona's bourgeois residential heartland after annexation in 1897. The square's namesake FGC station, just steps from the door, has shuttled commuters down to the city center since the original Sarrià line was electrified in the 1900s, and it still defines the rhythm of the neighborhood. CaixaBank's presence here is fitting: the bank traces its roots to "la Caixa," the Catalan savings institution founded in 1904, and Sant Gervasi has long been part of its home turf. The streets around Via Augusta mix established family-run spots like Casa de Varela and El Cuévano with neighborhood pharmacies, two competing supermarkets, and a cluster of mid-range hotels catering to visitors who prefer leafy uptown calm to the tourist crush of the Eixample. It's a branch built for residents who've banked here for decades — and for the professionals streaming off the trains each morning.
