Polvorí de Montjuïc, Military powder storage building in Montjuic hill, Barcelona, Spain.
The stone structure features a rectangular layout measuring 40 by 15 meters, supported by six interior columns and external buttresses.
The Spanish army constructed this powder magazine in 1773 as part of military installations to maintain control over Barcelona after the War of Spanish Succession.
The Barcelona City Council transformed this former military structure into a performing arts venue, now housing the Teatro de los Sentidos theater company.
Located on the western side of Montjuic hill, the building underwent complete restoration in 2005 after years of deterioration.
Local tradition speaks of an underground tunnel connecting the powder magazine directly to Montjuic Castle at the hilltop.
