Throughout the centuries Barcelona’s development has been shaped by local maritime activity. As a result, the city has grown up around its maritime waterfront, an area where all the significant episodes of its history have left a trace, particularly those in which the sea played a leading role.
The port and the maritime waterfront of the city are the culmination of centuries of dialogue between the inhabitants of Barcelona and the Mediterranean basin. This relationship is seen in its urban structures, its historical buildings and its public spaces, which shape the maritime city.
