Viatge en el temps per les Drassanes Reials de Barcelona

This year 2026, Barcelona has been named World Capital of Architecture. As part of this event, the Maritime Museum presents this exhibition to recall the origin and history of one of the city's most emblematic buildings. The Royal Shipyards (Drassanes Reials) are internationally recognised for their monumentality and their good state of preservation, and in 1976 they were declared a Historic-Artistic National Monument. Their origin dates back to the 13th century, during the reign of Peter the Great. In the following centuries they were expanded and modified until reaching the appearance we know today. The exhibition takes a tour through the different moments and uses of this complex, considered the largest and most complete medieval shipyards preserved in the world, and a unique example of Gothic civil architecture.
