Montjuic

Montjuic, called Hill of the Jews after a Jewish necropolis there, gained fame in 1929 as the site of the World's Fair and again in 1992 as the location for the summer Olympic Games. its main attractions are the Olympic installations, the Spanish Village and the hilltop fortress

From the gun positions overlooking the sea and the port, splendid views can be had.
The Olympic stadium and the Olympic diving pool are located lower down the hill.
