Búnquers del Carmel (Turó de la Rovira)
1937 anti-aircraft fortification offering an unobstructed 360-degree city panorama
Constructed in 1937 during the Spanish Civil War at an elevation of 262 meters to mount 105mm Vickers anti-aircraft cannons against fascist aviation.
Raw concrete gun platforms and command shelters offering the ultimate vantage point to observe Ildefons Cerdà's 1859 Eixample grid unfolding to the sea.
After the war, the site became an informal neighborhood known as 'Els Canons' housing over 3,000 residents before being restored by the MUHBA museum.
