| Barceloneta is the youngest neighbourhood within Barcelona´s city limits. It originated a little over 250 years ago when some of the reclaimed land from the sea (originally used to build the Port in the XV century) was converted into a small neighbourhood. Back in 1759 there were only 329 houses in the area. In 1992 for the Olympic Games in Barcelona, French architect Prosper Verboom left his mark on Barcelona in the form of the remodeled Barceloneta District. Thanks to its privileged situation, flanking the Meditteranean Sea it makes a lovely spot to live in. All the streets cross in a rectangular style, something that is not so often found in European cities. The whole area is designed in a modern yet functional style. The day-to-day activities of the area revolve manly around the catering and tourism sector and more than anything this district is famous for its seafood restaurants and bars which you will find in abundance. Some interesting places to visit in the area include; The History Museum of Catalunya, the Barceloneta beach and The Olympic Port. |
