Duana de Barcelona, Neoclassical palace in Sant Pere district, Barcelona, Spain

The Duana de Barcelona features a symmetrical H-shaped layout with a monumental facade decorated with sculptural elements and prominent central core.

Built between 1895 and 1902, this customs house replaced an older 18th-century structure near Port Vell to control maritime trade in Barcelona.

The building exhibits Central European architectural influences through its design elements, including pairs of griffins and large eagles crafted by sculptor Eusebi Arnau.

Located near the waterfront, the structure includes separate entrances and exits designed to facilitate systematic inspection of goods entering the city.

The word 'Aduana' appears in capital letters on the central section, accompanied by the Spanish coat of arms and decorative sculptures.
