The local museum preserves relics from Roman times, when Baetulo, an important centre before the foundation of Barcelona, occupied the site. Badalona’s manufactures include metals, chemicals, textiles, leather goods, liquor, foodstuffs, motors, and perfumes. Badalona’s services and infrastructure have merged with those of Barcelona city.
