Claravall Street

Carrer de Claravall, Barcelona, Catalunya, Spain!

Does anyone knows the history of this section of Barcelona? How the street became named?

Here is some info that I found around the street!

Ramon Lull University (Universidad Ramon Lull)

Spain (country), Catalona [state (first-order administrative division)],
Barcelona [county (second-order administrative division)],
Barcelona [city], Carrer de Claravall 1-3 [street]

Parish of St. Bernard of Clairvaux
+34 933 590 284
Carrer Pedraforca S/N
Barcelona, Barcelona province, Spain

The Claraval family name comes from the valley of Clairvaux in France, where St. Bernat du Clairvaux founded the Cisterian Abby. The name was later adopted by the Catalans in northeastern Spain where he was known as St. Bernard de Claravall. As evidence thereof, Carrer (or calle) de Claravall may be found at District 5, Sarria – Sant Gervasi, Barcelona, Espana.
