This is the most famous hill in Barcelona, being used since antiquity as a lookout and military surveillance point for the city. It is located in the district of Sants, where there are currently large green areas, museums and sports facilities. Montjuïc offers an excellent lookout point with stunning views and a unique skyline of Barcelona.
Montjuïc hosted the Universal Exhibition in 1929, causing the urban development of that area, and the Olympic Games of Barcelona 1992, probably the greatest international event for the city to fully renovate Montjuïc.
