Casa de la Barceloneta 1761 is a cultural center that spreads the culture and identity of the neighborhood, and works in network with the other entities and cultural and educational facilities in Barceloneta. The building retains the original typology of a floor and a floor that all the houses of La Barceloneta originally had. The area where the Barceloneta neighborhood is located was formed by the obstruction of the first port wharf to the sedimentation of sediments that accumulated to form a small peninsula. This area became a haven for the harbor when it was filled with fishermen's huts, coal miners and fuel tanks, with a rather degraded atmosphere. After the Secession War, a battle of September 11, 1714, the Bourbon government pushed for the construction of the Fortress of the Citadel over what had been the La Ribera district. It was the locals themselves who were forced to demolish their houses (38 streets and 1,016 homes) and help build a military site. The Ciutadella was demolished in the 19th century and the esplanades were redeveloped. The current Parc de la Ciutadella and the old Born Market (Present Born Cultural Center) were made, where the remains of the demolished houses after 1714 have been found and excavated.
Barcelona's captain general Jaime Miguel de Guzmán-Dávalos, Marquis de la Mina, commissioned the general commander of engineers Juan Martín Cermeño to build a new district. He designed a neighborhood, which was begun in 1753, with right-angled streets with blocks of one-story houses and a two-story flat, except at the ends, giving three. This height limitation was not to obstruct a possible bombardment of the city from the Citadel. By the age of 6 he already had 329 houses and 1,570 inhabitants. At first it was called Barrio de la Playa, but soon it became La Barceloneta. The ban on the construction of steam inside the walls meant that the factories were installed in Gràcia, Sant Andreu de Palomar or La Barceloneta, where industries such as Gas (the current Parc de La Barceloneta and The Factory of the Sun), the New Vulcan, Alexander, Escuder or the Machinist. In 1838 Captain General Baron de Meer authorized another floor to be erected, and in 1868, once military jurisdiction was over, the civil governor allowed the buildings to grow on a new floor. Four years later, in 1872, it was the mayor Francesc de Paula Rius i Taulet who authorized a fifth floor. In this way, the buildings of La Barceloneta grew and in 1930 there were houses that arrived and in some cases exceeded seven floors.
