Description

This plan, dated to the 19th century, documents a river navigation project between Amposta and the Alfacs bay, an initiative that is part of the modernization of communications and infrastructure in Catalonia. The project reflects the interest in integrating the territory of Montsià into European commercial networks, taking advantage of the Ebro River as a strategic transport route. The document is representative of the chronological (19th century), typological (technical plan), background (public administration), territorial (Terres de l’Ebre) and thematic (economy, territory and international relations) diversity. In addition, it highlights the desire to connect Catalonia with Europe through the improvement of infrastructures, contributing to the construction of a shared economic and logistical space.
