Stars on House Numbers
I've recently noticed that some buildings in El Born have stars on their number plaques, and I was wondering what they mean.
Thank you very much!

In the Born district of Barcelona, the stars or asterisks that appear next to street numbers often indicate specific floors or levels within the same building. This system is especially used in historic areas like the Born, where buildings can have multiple floors or entrances that aren't traditionally numbered.
Usage Examples
- A number with a star or asterisk: For example, "Carrer de l'Example 12*" might denote a specific floor or a subdivision within the building, indicating a particular entrance or level.
In old areas like the Born, where buildings may have complex internal configurations due to their age, this numbering helps to more accurately identify each unit or entrance within the same street number.
