몬트멜로‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 산 정상

The current cross is the result of several replacements, as wind and storms toppled it more than once. For years it was a popular spot for pilgrimages and also served as a makeshift landmark for locals, who used it as a meeting point when the roads were still unmarked. Access is easy and consistent, and the open view explains why this hill has always been a landmark for anyone traveling through the area.

The Cruz de Montigalá is an icon of the city of Badalona. From here there are beautiful panoramic views of a large part of the Serralada de Marina, Badalona and Barcelona.

In a fairly good state of conservation you can see the foundations of what this town was. The signs posted perfectly explain each place.

The Iberian village of Puig Castellar is located in the Serralada de Marina park, at the top of the 303 m high Pollo hill, with an area that must slightly exceed 4,000 m2. The magnificent defensive and control conditions of the territory suggest that it must have been an important town. This location allowed him the vision and communication with the nearby settlements, since he controlled an important stretch of the coastline, the mouth of the Besòs, the plan of Barcelona and the passage inland, towards the Vallès. It was occupied from the 6th century BC until the beginning of the 2nd century BC and belonged to the Laietans people, who inhabited the territory that extended approximately from the Llobregat river to the Tordera and inland through the valley of the Llobregat and the Vallès.

Short climb but very intense the last two hundred meters, somewhat hard, good views from the top.

Interesting place with remains of an Iberian settlement from where impressive 360° views are commanded. You can see the Pyrenees on clear days.

Iberian town with wide views

The cross is about 4 meters high. The first cross, designed by the architect Joan Amigó, was placed on September 28, 1913 but was destroyed during the Civil War, and was erected again, in reinforced concrete. There are great views from here.
