    (Translated by Google) Nice tower on the fishermen's wharf in the port of Barcelona. Now (and since the beginning of the 20th century) it is a watch, but it was born as a lighthouse in the 18th century, that means that the port ended where it is located, because it has not moved from there. In all these years you have seen the great transformation of the Port of Barcelona, ​​what will you think of the change? If he spoke !!! 😉 (Original) Bonita torre en el muelle de pescadores del puerto de Barcelona. Ahora (y desde principios del siglo XX) es un reloj, pero nació siendo un faro en el sigo XVIII, éso quiere decir que el puerto acababa donde está ubicado, porque de allí no se ha movido. En todos estos años ha visto la gran transformación del Puerto de Barcelona, ¿Qué pensará del cambio ? Si hablara !!! 😉

    (Translated by Google) The Torre del Rellotge is a symbol of the Barceloneta neighborhood. It was an ancient lighthouse that was transformed into a clock. Another nice place that Barcelona has to visit. We can find a bit of history in every corner of this wonderful city. (Original) La Torre del Rellotge es un símbolo del barrio de la Barceloneta. Era un faro antiguo que fue transformado como reloj. Otro lugar bonito que tiene Barcelona para visitar. Podemos encontrar un poco de historia en cada rincón de esta maravillosa ciudad.

    (Translated by Google) It is a place unknown to many but has charm and history. Former lighthouse of the eighteenth century, the first in Barcelona, ​​and a key place of the Dunkerque-Barcelona metric measurement, the tower being the point where the Parallel and Meridian of the city meet. (Original) Es un lugar desconocido para muchos pero tiene encanto e historia. Antiguo faro del siglo XVIII, el primero de Barcelona, y lugar clave de la medición métrica Dunkerque-Barcelona, siendo la torre el punto en el que se encuentran el Paralelo y la Meridiana de la ciudad.

  • 5/5 Manel B. 6 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) In 1772, after some extensions to the harbor dock, a lighthouse or lantern tower was built. As the port grew larger and was out of sight of the boats and therefore out of use to avoid having to destroy it, the task of clock was assigned (Original) En 1772 después de algunas ampliaciones del dique del puerto se construyó un faro o torre de la linterna. Al hacerse grande el puerto y quedar fuera de la vista de las embarcaciones y por tanto fuera de uso para no tener que derruir lo se le asignó la tarea de reloj

    (Translated by Google) Although it is not open to the public to visit the interior, we are facing a historic jewel of the city of Barcelona. It was the first lighthouse in the city, a guide to enter the port and for passing ships. It helped eighteenth-century scientists to determine the size of the metro and if we look at the map of Barcelona it is the meeting point between the Parallel and the Meridiana, two great avenues of the city of Barcelona. It would be nice to have scheduled visits to the interior. (Original) Aunque no está abierta al público para visitar el interior, estamos ante una joya histórica de la ciudad de Barcelona. Fue el primer faro de la ciudad, guía para entrar a puerto y para los barcos de paso. Sirvió de ayuda a científicos del siglo XVIII para determinar la medida del metro y si miramos el mapa de Barcelona es el punto de encuentro entre el Paralelo y la Meridiana, dos grandes avenidas de la ciudad Condal. Estaría bien tener visitas al interior programadas.

  • 5/5 Fogonillas G. 6 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It dates to 1772 ... It was initially a lighthouse, but due to the growth of the port it lost its function and in 1904 it was decided to keep it - adding a clock, which makes this old lighthouse a unique emblem of the Barceloneta ... It is also honored to be a geodesic point where Pierre F. Mechain took the last steps that led to the birth of the decimal metric system. (Original) Data de 1772... Inicialment era un far,però, a causa del creixement del port, va perdre la seva funció i en 1904 es va decidir conservar-afegint un rellotge,el que fa d' aquest vell far una peça única emblema de la Barceloneta... També té l'honor de ser un punt geodèsic on Pierre F. Mechain va prendre les últimes mesures que van donar lloc al naixement del sistema mètric decimal..

    (Translated by Google) Clock tower inside the clock dock inside the fishermen's guild enclosure. Illuminated with spotlights and very striking. In the nearby area there is nothing more than the moorings of the boats of the fishermen who fish daily. (Original) Torrw del reloj dentro del muelle del reloj en el interior del recinto de la cofradía de pescadores. Iluminado con focos y muy llamativo. En la zona cercana no hay nada más que los amarres de las embarcaciones de los pescadores que faenan a diario.
