Port Olímpic

Barcelona's Olympic Port is one of the city's most vibrant harbour areas and an important landmark in Barcelona's urban development. This marina was built as part of the preparations for the 1992 Olympic Games, by architects Oriol Bohigas, Josep Martorell, David Mackay and Albert Puigdomènech, and has become a landmark of the city.

It is located in the Barceloneta neighbourhood, just east of the historic city centre. It was built on the site of a disused industrial area, which meant a major urban transformation for the city.
