Duana del Port de Barcelona, Cultural Asset near Port Vell, Barcelona, Spain.

The H-shaped building features two parallel sections connected by a central body, with the sea-facing side resembling an industrial structure and the main facade displaying palace characteristics.

Constructed between 1896 and 1902 by architects Enric Sagnier and Pere Garcia Fària, the customs building managed port goods for over fifty years before operations moved to Zona Franca.

The ornate facade incorporates Ionic columns, pediments, and sculptures by Eusebi Arnau, along with shields representing Barcelona, Catalonia, and Spain, plus eagles and winged lions.

Located at Passeig de Josep Carner in El Raval district, the building stands in front of Drassanes, next to Moll de la Fusta and the former commercial port.

The building design intended to create a linear flow of goods entering one end, passing through inspection halls, and exiting the other, though bureaucracy altered this plan.
