Ictineo I, 19th-century submarine replica in El Raval, Spain
The Ictineo I submarine measures seven meters in length and features a double hull design with an inner pressure chamber and outer fish-shaped structure.
Engineer Narcís Monturiol constructed this pioneering submarine in Barcelona during 1858, completing over fifty test dives before its destruction by a cargo vessel in 1862.
The submarine design emerged from Monturiol's social concerns after witnessing coral harvester accidents, leading to Spain's first commercial submarine navigation enterprise.
Located in El Raval district, the submarine replica demonstrates early underwater navigation technology with its hand-cranked propeller system and glass viewing ports.
The vessel incorporated an advanced chemical air purification system to remove carbon dioxide and generate oxygen for the crew during underwater operations.
