Drassanes del Grau, Gothic shipyard building in Poblats Marítims, Spain

The Atarazanas del Grao consists of five parallel rectangular naves, each measuring 10 by 48 meters, supported by diaphragm arches in brick construction.

The Valencia City Council established this maritime facility in 1338 to store oars and naval equipment, leading to the construction of the first shipyards.

The building represents the naval heritage of Valencia, demonstrating the Mediterranean trade connections during the fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth centuries.

Located in Plaza Juan Antonio Benlliure, the building now hosts art exhibitions focused on contemporary works within its restored Gothic structure.

The rear section maintains its original state due to the absence of access doors and minimal alterations to the facade over the centuries.

Location: Poblats Marítims

Inception: 14 century

Architectural style: Valencian Gothic
