The best museums Province Of Barcelona

The Barcelona History Museum has several sites. The Plaça del Rei complex contains the archaeological remains of the Roman city in the basement, the 14th-century Royal Palace, where you can admire the Tinell Room, and the Chapel of Saint Agatha. Various collections of medieval objects are on display in the rooms of Casa Padellàs, a 15th-century Gothic house that was moved stone by stone following the construction of the Via Laietana in 1931.

The museum is housed in the arsenals of the Crown of Aragon, built in the 13th century by order of Peter the Great. Modified until the 18th century, the Drassanes are a jewel of civil engineering and are one of the few examples of Gothic-style naval infrastructure. The museum traces the Catalan maritime history through an important collection of maps, models and paintings. Don't hesitate to visit the schooner Santa Eulàlia, dating from 1918, one of the first boats restored and refloated by the museum.

Opened in 1882, the oldest museum in Barcelona has a rich collection of minerals, fossils, plants and animals.
