Badalona

Badalona lies between the Mediterranean shoreline and the Serra de Marina in Catalonia, a position that has shaped it as Barcelona’s coastal neighbour with a long urban beach. Beneath the modern centre are the remains of Baetulo, a Roman town founded in the 1st century BC; the Museum of Badalona preserves excavated streets, houses and thermal baths. The Pont del Petroli, a former oil-loading jetty, now extends into the sea as a public promenade. Each May, the Festa Major de Maig culminates in the burning of the Dimoni, a large effigy on the beach. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Badalona and Catalonia.
