Montjuïc, Mountain with castle in Barcelona, Spain
The 177-meter-high mountain stands between Plaza España and the commercial port, providing panoramic views of Barcelona and the Mediterranean Sea.
The fortress at Montjuïc, initially constructed during the Reapers' War in 1640, later became a military stronghold that both protected and attacked Barcelona.
The National Museum of Catalan Art, located in the Palau Nacional building, contains an extensive collection of Romanesque and Gothic art from the region.
Visitors can reach the summit using multiple transportation options, including the funicular from Parallel metro station and cable cars from Barceloneta.
The mountain houses remains from the 1929 International Exhibition and 1992 Olympics, including the Olympic stadium and the Magic Fountain with water displays.
