Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium, Olympic stadium in Montjuïc, Spain
The Montjuïc Olympic Stadium features eclectic architecture and maintains a capacity of 55,926 spectators on the hillside overlooking Barcelona's harbor.
Initially constructed for the 1929 International Exposition, the stadium underwent major renovations in 1989 to prepare for the 1992 Summer Olympics competitions and ceremonies.
The stadium received its current name, Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, in 2001 to honor the former president of Catalonia who was executed at Montjuïc Castle.
Visitors access the stadium via free shuttle buses from Plaça Espanya and Carrer del Foc, or by taking the Montjuïc Funicular from Paral·lel metro station.
FC Barcelona temporarily calls this stadium home during the 2023-2026 period while their main Camp Nou stadium undergoes extensive renovation work.

Barcelona has several sports facilities inherited from the 1992 Olympic Games, including Montjuïc Olympic Stadium and the municipal swimming pool in the same district, which offers sweeping views of the city from its elevated location. The Olympic and Sports Museum showcases this period with collections of medals, torches, and vintage equipment. The Horta Velodrome, built in 1984, features a 250-meter track and still hosts cycling competitions. Beyond this Olympic legacy, the city hosts active sports venues like the Municipal Sailing Center in Barceloneta, which offers classes and equipment rentals, and the Club Natació Atlètic-Barceloneta, with its Olympic-sized pool and water polo team that has competed in the top division since 1992. The Real Club de Polo de Barcelona, founded in 1897, maintains polo fields, tennis courts, and hockey facilities certified internationally. Football enthusiasts can visit the RCD Espanyol stadium, the city's other professional club.
