The three-masted schooner Santa Eulàlia was built in 1918. It spent decades working as a cargo vessel between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, carrying goods such as salt, timber and minerals. Restored by the Museu Marítim de Barcelona, it now sits in Port Vell as a reminder of traditional sailing. Its wooden hull, classic rigging and elegant lines speak of a time when trade moved with the wind and the rhythm of the sea. It is one of the few historic schooners of its kind still preserved in the Mediterranean.

Open to visitors for most of the year, except when it is away on scheduled historic sailing trips.
