Camp Nou, Football stadium in La Maternitat i Sant Ramon, Spain.
Camp Nou is a football stadium in La Maternitat i Sant Ramon, Spain, stretching across several levels with seating areas, dressing rooms, and press zones. The complex also includes a museum, a fan shop, and corridors that lead through the interior spaces where concrete and steel structures are visible.
Construction began in March 1954 because the old Barcelona venue had become too small, and the opening took place on September 24, 1957. Over the following decades, the complex was expanded and modernized several times to meet the growing demands of European football.
Families and football fans gather outside the venue to take photos with the club colors and the famous lettering before heading inside. Inside the museum, visitors move slowly through display cases filled with trophies and jerseys, quietly exchanging stories about players and matches.
The venue is usually open Monday through Saturday from 10 AM to 6 PM and on Sundays until 3 PM, with different guided tours available. Visiting on weekdays is advisable because there are fewer people and you can explore at a more relaxed pace.
In July 2022, a naming rights agreement with Spotify was signed for over 310 million dollars, leading to the official renaming as Spotify Camp Nou. Despite the new name, many locals and visitors still refer to the venue by its old designation.
