The name Atarazana comes from the Arabic ""Addar as-sina'a"" and means workshop, so probably similar facilities already existed in Muslim times although they have not been able to be located in the city. For us today, these medieval shipyards would function as a kind of shipyard where all types of ships were built, various materials and merchandise were stored, and cargo ships were repaired. We know that King Peter III the Great in the 13th century granted He gave a license to the city's consuls to build a place with these characteristics to continue with his purpose of obtaining the throne of Sicily, which would be close to the current Shipyards, but it was on August 27 of 1338 when it was ordered the construction of these new shipyards that did not have their current dimensions until practically the 16th century.
This infrastructure has about 3,500 square meters, five naves and the main façade built by Francesc Tona in the 15th century where the original stone rain gutters that preserve the city's coat of arms stand out. . Throughout their history they have passed through different hands such as those of the king, the municipal hands or numerous individuals who in 1840 decided to divide the warehouses and rent them separately. It is interesting to know that the second Atarazana was used as a cinema in 1915.
