The Venue
The Museu Marítim (Maritime Museum) in Barcelona is undoubtedly one of the most exciting sights. The venue is located in the building of Drassanes Reials de Barcelona, the royal arsenal of Barcelona, dedicated to shipbuilding between the thirteenth century and eighteenth century. The first mention of these arsenals date from 1243 in a document indicating the boundaries of the city of Barcelona where it mentions its shipyard.
The building is of a Gothic style; its construction was carried out in a first stage between 1283 / 1328 and the second between 1328 / 1390. Subsequent reforms and extensions have been made, basically keeping the original structure.
During excavations in 2012, it discovered that in the late 16th century a new building was constructed on top of the old medieval dockyard, giving the building its current structure. This excavations also uncovered a Roman graveyard. The shipyard's restoration finished in early 2013, and the Museum reopened in 2014.
The Museum is located at the southern edge of the Old Town and the end of the Rambla.
