A CITY ON THE SEA

Barcelona began life as a settlement on a gentle slope leading down to
the sea, which allowed it to expand unimpeded.
The Llobregat and Besós rivers provided water, while the combination
of mountains and the Mediterranean made for a wonderful climate.

However, the sea-level city had little to attract shipping, as it did not
have a natural harbour like Genoa’s Porto Vecchio or Marseille.
The coastal waters also generated a constant build-up of sand.
The coastal area needed protection and deeper waters to provide
access for ships and goods.

The city’s inhabitants understood the importance of having a port and
battled to create one.
