Parc de Montjuïc
Panoramic 173-meter mountain with fortress, Olympic ring, and lush gardens
Inhabited since antiquity, Montjuïc provided the sandstone for medieval Barcelona. Transformed for the 1929 International Exposition and the 1992 Olympic Games.
Encompasses Montjuïc Castle, the Olympic Stadium, Calatrava's communications tower, and stepped gardens created by French landscape master Forestier.
The golden silicified sandstone extracted from Montjuïc quarries contains 12-million-year-old marine fossils visible in the stones of the Gothic Cathedral.
