Overview

• The ship skeleton, named 'Ciutadella I,' dates back to the 15th–16th centuries and was discovered over five meters below sea level at the former Mercat del Peix site.
• Measuring approximately 10 meters in length and 3 meters in width, the remains represent a medieval Mediterranean vessel, with partial structures preserved.
• The archaeological team, led by Arqueòlegs.cat under Santi Palacios and Delia Eguiluz, is carefully dismantling the ship piece by piece for conservation and study.
• Wood resin analysis will be conducted to trace the vessel's origin, with the extraction process expected to conclude within two to three weeks.
• This marks Barcelona’s second medieval ship discovery, following the 2008 unearthing of 'Barceloneta I,' and further finds are possible as 10–15% of the excavation area remains unexplored.
