Baluard de Migdia de Barcelona, Medieval defensive bastion in Sant Pere district, Barcelona, Spain.

The Baluard de Migdia stands as one of eleven bastions from the defensive wall system that protected Barcelona from maritime attacks.

During the siege of Barcelona in 1714, Colonel Paperoles and 100 riflemen defended this bastion against Bourbon troops until the final surrender.

The bastion remains serve as physical evidence of Barcelona's military engineering and represent a key period in Catalan defensive architecture.

Visitors can access the archaeological site through a dedicated walkway near Estació de França, with informative panels explaining the fortification's layout.

The 2014-2016 urban renovation project integrated the bastion's archaeological structures within a modern public space, connecting the Ribera and Barceloneta districts.
