Nowadays, Barcelona is a city which is open to the sea. The port has become one of the favourite stop-off points for luxury cruise liners. The fishing area of the port still survives, with its clock tower which gives its name to the wharf -Moll del Rellotge- and the small fish auction mart. The medieval shipyards, the Drassanes Reials, bear witness to the splendour of sea trading and the Catalan Navy of the Middle Ages, and ,currently house the Museu Marítim. From the Columbus Monument you can walk along the oldest part of the harbour front, the Port Vell. The domed viewing gallery of the Columbus Monument provides views of the whole of Barcelona and the Port Vell, with the city's new leisure complex comprising the Maremàgnum, the Imax cinema and L' Aquàrium. The city can also be viewed from the sea on one of the Golondrinas pleasure boats which travel across the harbour and along the city’s seafront.
