150 years of trams in Barcelona
The origins of the city’s urban public transport.
In June 2022, the 150th anniversary of the first tram line in Barcelona was celebrated.
The first tram line was officially opened on 27 June 1872. This animal-drawn tram ran from the Pla de la Boqueria to Gràcia and was managed by The Barcelona Tramways Company Ltd.
This milestone led to the launch of the future ground-level urban transport network.
To commemorate that event, we invite you to access the TMB Foundation’s historical images archives, in accordance with its unique nature, with priority given to most representative pictures.
