Beautiful market hall directly on La Ramblas selling flowers, fruit and vegetables, as well as fish and meat. You are welcome to taste fruit at the stalls. At some fish or meat stalls you can have things freshly prepared and eat them there. There are also various consumption stands with good offers (food/drinks). Whether food at the stands or just to stroll. There is something for everyone.

Columbus Monument (Monumento a Colón), Barcelona

Highlight • Monument

The Monument to Columbus is a sculptural group located in the Portal de la Paz square in Barcelona, in the Ciutat Vella district. Built in homage to the discoverer Christopher Columbus, it is erected at the junction point between the Ramblas and the Paseo de Colón, in front of the old port of Barcelona. The author of the project was the architect Cayetano Buigas, and several artists took part in the sculptural decoration, such as Eduard B. Alentorn, Rafael Atché, Pere Carbonell, Manuel Fuxá, Josep Llimona, Rossend Nobas, Antoni Vilanova, Francisco Pagés and Agapito Vallmitjana. The foundry was by Alejandro Wohlguemuth.

The monument was built in the context of the works to improve the Barcelona coastline carried out on the occasion of the Universal Exhibition of Barcelona in 1888. Inaugurated on June 1, 1888, in full exhibition, it immediately became one of the most characteristic icons from the city. Inside the column there is an elevator that allows you to go up to the hemisphere located under the feet of the statue, from where you can see the city.

This work is registered as a Cultural Asset of Local Interest (BCIL) in the Catalan Cultural Heritage Inventory with code 08019/859.

Port Works Board

Highlight • Monument

At Moll de Bosch in Alsina is the Puerto de Barcelona building – the historic building of the Port Authority of Barcelona (in Catalan: edifici de la Junta d’Obres del Port). It was built in 1903-07 according to a project by civil engineer Julio Valdés, who was the deputy director of the port at the time. It was planned as a passenger terminal with post and customs offices. On the upper floor, the restaurant El Mundial Palace was added, and one year after its opening, a commercial museum was also opened in the building.

In 1918, the building became the headquarters of the Port Authority of Barcelona. Under changing names of the authority, it retained this function until 2010 when the Port Authority moved to the World Trade Center.

In recent years, it has been extensively renovated.
