Bateries antiaèries i barraques del Carmel, Military fortification in Horta-Guinardó, Barcelona, Spain.
The site includes concrete bunkers and artillery platforms positioned on Turó de la Rovira hill at 262 meters above sea level in Barcelona.
Constructed in 1937, this defense complex contained four Vickers anti-aircraft guns to protect Barcelona from Italian and German aerial attacks during the Spanish Civil War.
The location transformed from a military installation to a shantytown housing 600 residents until the 1990s, reflecting Barcelona's social evolution through the 20th century.
The site operates under MUHBA management with daily opening hours from 9:00 to 19:30, accessed via metro stations Alfons X or El Carmel plus a walking ascent.
The remaining concrete structures provide unobstructed views across Barcelona, displaying both maritime and mountain borders of the metropolitan area from a central position.
