Historical photographs by Antonio Borrelles
The Port de Barcelona has incorporated into its Photographic Collection a set of 253 historical photographs by Antonio Borrelles Lanceta (Seville, 1942–2024), taken during the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, and donated by Marcos Pacheco Morales-Padrón, the legal custodian of the collection, who preserved the photographic set until its incorporation into the Port de Barcelona Archive.
The images constitute a valuable documentary record of the maritime and port activity of the period. The collection includes scenes related to loading and unloading operations, the flow of goods, the presence of vessels of various types, and the port’s daily life, making it possible to document the evolution of the Port de Barcelona during these years.
