Ictineo II, Historical submarine replica in Gothic Quarter, Spain
The Ictineo II, measuring 14 meters in length, features a wooden hull with copper plating and stands as a full-scale reproduction of a nineteenth-century vessel.
The original Ictineo II, launched in Barcelona's port on October 2, 1864, represented the first submarine powered by air-independent combustion technology.
This maritime engineering monument commemorates the achievements of Spanish inventor Narcis Monturiol, who developed advanced underwater propulsion systems during the 1860s.
Located near Port Vell, visitors can reach the submarine display via Line 4 of the Barcelona Metro, with the Barceloneta station providing convenient access.
The vessel incorporated a chemical reaction system using zinc, manganese dioxide, and potassium chlorate to power its steam engine for underwater navigation.
