The venue
L'Aquàrium de Barcelona
Total immersion in the Mediterranean
Located at Moll d'Espanya, L'Aquàrium de Barcelona opened in 1995, a key player in the post-Olympic Port Vell redesign. Designed by MBM studio and Oriol Bohigas, or Terradas Arquitectes, its structure anchors the Barceloneta's port facade. This center is a global benchmark for marine ecosystems, focusing on the Mediterranean. Its Oceanarium, with an eighty-meter underwater tunnel, offers a deep dive into subaquatic biodiversity. A space blending education and marine preservation.
