Badalona

Located on the Mediterranean coast at the mouth of the Besòs River, Badalona extends over 21 square kilometers with numerous beaches along its shoreline.

The Roman settlement of Baetulo, established around 100 BC, developed into a center for wine production and trade throughout the Mediterranean region.

The Monastery of Sant Jeroni de la Murtra, dating from the 15th century, stands as a testament to medieval architecture with its Gothic cloister and stone walls.

The city connects to Barcelona through multiple transportation options, including trains and buses, making the 9-kilometer journey accessible for residents and visitors.

The Museum of Badalona preserves substantial Roman ruins beneath its modern structure, including thermal baths, streets, and residential areas from ancient Baetulo.
