Address

Avinguda de les Drassanes at the foot of La Rambla, near the Columbus monument

The Drassanes were a royal shipyard from the 13th century, and the museum fills its tall hall of stone arches. At the centre sits a full-size replica of the galley that carried the commander at the Battle of Lepanto, close enough to see the rowing benches and cabin. Old charts, navigation tools and ship models fill the rest. It is steps from La Rambla, a good rainy-day stop.
