Montjuïc Castle in Barcelona was a military fortress and, after the civil war, was a military museum. It is currently a municipal facility dependent on Barcelona City Council. It is located on top of the Montjuïc mountain in Barcelona, more than 170 m high on a rocky terrace.

Hiking

On the 173 meter high mountain of Barcelona, the Montjuïc, you have a magnificent view of the sea, the port and the city. On the summit is the Castell, a large defensive structure that was built in its current form at the end of the 18th century.
