Museu Marítim

The Museu Marítim de Barcelona is a maritime museum that stands as a tribute to Catalonia’s naval history, shipbuilding excellence and adventurous spirit. It stores an incredible replica of the 16th-century Royal Galley from the Battle of Lepanto. These shipyards were active until the 18th century and then eventually became a museum in 1936. Its layout clearly showcases the Gothic civil architecture.
