Located between the beaches of Barceloneta and Nova Icària, this port was built in 1991 to accommodate the sailing competitions of the 1992 Olympic Games. Several architects participated in its design, including Oriol Bohigas, Josep Martorell and David Mackay through the MBM Arquitectes agency. At the foot of the Mapfre towers and the Arts Hotel, the port is home to a high concentration of restaurants, bars and nightclubs.

A metro station, named Monumental, serves the arena from carrer Marina. In 2014, a project to transform the arena into a forty-thousand-seat mosque was proposed by Qatar, but has since been abandoned.
