What you'll see
A brand-new district of glass and brick apartments on the old docks, with waterside promenades, wide stone steps down to the water at the Magellan and Marco Polo terraces, and old ships moored in the traditional harbour.
A brief history
One of Europe's largest city-building projects, it has been going up since the early 2000s on land that once held port warehouses; the ground floors are built to cope with floods.
