Sheds of the Port, Art Nouveau buildings at Port of Valencia, Spain.
Description
The Port Sheds are industrial buildings with metal structures set between masonry walls and tall windows. The open interiors allow natural light to flood the spaces and reveal their original purpose as storage halls.
History
These buildings were constructed in the early 1900s as storage facilities for port operations. They suffered severe damage during a major conflict in Spain, resulting in losses among the original structures.
Culture
The facades display decorative patterns and arched entrances that reflect early industrial design from Valencia's past. Visitors can observe these architectural details today when walking along the waterfront structures.
Practical
These buildings are located in an active port area and remain accessible daily. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and be aware that the area continues to serve port operations.
Did you know?
The buildings feature cast columns that extend their full height and two prominent masts at the ends. This unusual vertical emphasis with the masts creates a striking silhouette that stands out when viewed from the waterfront.
