La Barceloneta, Seaside neighborhood in Ciutat Vella, Barcelona, Spain.

La Barceloneta features narrow streets arranged in a grid pattern, with neoclassical buildings leading directly to a long Mediterranean beach and port area.

The district emerged in the 18th century as a planned settlement for displaced fishermen following the construction of the Ciutadella fortress by Philip V.

Local seafood restaurants maintain maritime traditions through generations of family recipes, while the fish market supplies fresh catches from Mediterranean waters.

The neighborhood connects to central Barcelona through the L4 metro line at Barceloneta station, with frequent bus services and a waterfront cycling path.

Buildings in La Barceloneta maintain their original proportions of 8.4 meters wide by 8.4 meters deep, creating uniformly sized residential structures throughout the quarter.
