Known as a focal point of Barcelona, Port Vell, or Old Port, was once a run-down area of empty warehouses and factories. Today’s Port Vell, which stretches from the Columbus Monument to Barceloneta, draws 16 million visitors annually, due in no small part to the Maremàgnum, a mall containing a multitude of shops, bars and restaurants; IMAX Port Vell; and Europe’s largest aquarium, L’Aquàrium, consisting of 8,000 fish and 11 sharks.
