Engraving published at Bassano del Grappa around 1780, showing Barcelona from the sea, with the port lantern in the foreground. On the right, a lighthouse over the breakwater is visible at the end of the dock. Around it are different groups of individuals, many with red capes. Different ships can be seen in the port. A key with 22 numbers identifies the city’s most notable buildings, which appear behind the sea wall. In the background, the mountains of Montjuïc and Montserrat are visible. The name of the city and two coats of arms can be seen at the top.
