Maritime Museum of Barcelona, Medieval maritime museum in Port Vell, Spain

The Maritime Museum occupies the Gothic-style Royal Shipyard building, featuring collections of ships, navigational instruments, and maritime artifacts across multiple halls.

The Royal Shipyard construction began in 1243 under Peter III of Aragon, serving as Barcelona's primary naval manufacturing center until the eighteenth century.

The museum displays a full-scale replica of Juan de Austria's royal galley from the Battle of Lepanto, representing Mediterranean naval power.

The Maritime Museum opens daily from 10:00 to 20:00, offering wheelchair access throughout the facility and educational programs for various age groups.

Archaeological excavations in 2012 revealed a Roman necropolis beneath the museum, adding another layer to the building's historical significance.
