Free tour of Monjuïc - The Magical Mountain of Barcelona
♡ Save


We invite you to discover a perfect conjunction between nature, history, and architectural beauty. You will learn about the history of the ambitious architectural project that turned a mountain that almost depopulated into the small town it is today.
We will start the tour in the Gardens of Mossèn Costa I Llobera, where we will get to know species of cacti from all over the world, while we enjoy one of the best views from the Mount, observing the sea. We will walk through the Miramar Gardens, one of the main parks created for the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition.
We will also have a space for ancient history, going through the Montjuic Castle, an old 18th-century fortress, and the remains of the old Jewish cemetery, where we will tell you how the history of this place intermingled with iconic spaces in the center of Barcelona.
We will go back to recent history to find the Montjuic Olympic ring, a set of facilities that were part of the space where the 1992 Olympic Games took place. We will find some of the symbols of this sport's history.
We will end the tour in one of the most impressive buildings on the tour: Plaza España. In addition to the emblematic Venetian towers, built to officiate at the entrance to the International Exposition, we will visit the National Art Museum of Catalonia, where we will say goodbye hoping to see them again soon in the city.
