Turó de la Creueta del Coll, Mountain summit in El Coll district, Barcelona, Spain
Monte de la Creueta del Coll rises 245 meters above sea level and contains granite quarry walls that form part of its current landscape.
The mountain served as a granite extraction site until 1987, when architects Martorell, Bohigas, and Mackay transformed it into a public recreational space.
The mountain received its name from a cross installed by local residents in 2000, though the origin of the Creueta designation predates this installation.
The site features multiple access points, including entrances from Passeig Mare de Déu del Coll and Carrer Castellterçol, with paths leading to the summit.
A suspended concrete sculpture by Eduardo Chillida called Elogio del Agua hangs over the lake that functions as a public swimming pool in summer.
