Castle at the time of defense tower turned into a military museum with beautiful views of Barcelona

Once a symbol of repression, Montjuïc Castle is steeped in an eventful history. Built in 1640, it was used at the time as a defensive tower thanks to its panoramic view over the entire city. In 1842, the city was bombed from the castle to prevent revolutionary uprisings. During the Civil War, the castle served as a military prison, before being transformed in 1963 into a military museum. Today it is an interpretation centre dedicated to the history of Montjuïc, offering very beautiful views of Barcelona.

This castle is inattentive due to its architecture of the vastness of the heritage of Barcelona but as an interest to discover the history of the city and offers beautiful well-appointed green areas
