Junta d'Obres del Port, Port administration building in Gothic Quarter, Barcelona, Spain.
The rectangular structure features corner towers, maritime decorations, and a sculptural group depicting Barcelona's protection of maritime trade and commerce.
Between 1903 and 1907, architect Julio Valdés constructed this building, which served as Barcelona's port administration headquarters until 2010.
The facade incorporates sculptures by Joan Serra Pau, including figures representing Mercury and Marina, along with crowned city personifications.
Located at Plaza del Portal de la Paz 6, near the Columbus Monument, the building maintains its original single-floor layout after rehabilitation.
The upper floor previously housed El Mundial Palace restaurant, which hosted a royal banquet for King Alfonso XIII during his 1908 Barcelona visit.
