The Parc del Fòrum is located on the waterfront at the northernmost end of the city. The park was built for the 2004 Universal Forum of Cultures. It isn't a park or green space in the strictest sense of the word, but a large area which brings together a series of spaces and amenities which host a wide range of events.

In 2004 Barcelona hosted the Universal Forum of Cultures, an unprecedented event which contributed to a dialogue about cultural diversity, sustainable development and the conditions for peace. The epicentre of this major gathering is now a reclaimed area of land by the sea where you'll find: the Plaza and Esplanade which host trade fairs, music festivals and large-scale events; the triangular Forum Building, which has become the undisputed icon of Barcelona's new architecture and the Museu de Ciències Naturals; the CCIB-Centre de Convencions Internacional de Barcelona, one of the most modern conference facilities in Europe which can host up to 15,000 people; the Parc dels Auditoris, a large open-air space by the sea; and the spectacular Photovoltaic Cell, whose sloping structure is underpinned by a forest of columns and is a symbol of Barcelona's commitment to sustainability and preserving the environment; the Forum Marina, a marina with all the necessary services and the best conditions for boaters and crews, and bathing area, where we can soak up the most genuinely Mediterranean character of the city.
