The shipyard where the galleys of the Crown of Aragon were built, which Peter the Great ordered raised about 1285. According to the excavations of 2010 to 2012, much of what stands is a rebuilding of the late 16th century, a few metres inland and still in Gothic style, to which the Generalitat added three naves in 1618. The Royal Galley of John of Austria was built here in 1571; the buildings now house the Maritime Museum.
