Montjuïc Castle
3.9
Introduction
The Montjuic Castle, built in the 17th century, stands tall atop the windswept hill despite the passing of time. This military fortress is not only a typical example of Barcelona's garden architecture but has also been of keen interest to military strategists. In ancient times, it served as a guard tower, fully demonstrating its importance in military history. The castle once served as a prison, detaining political prisoners and executing criminals. Today, it has been transformed into a military museum, showcasing weapons, flags, and military uniforms from the 15th to the 20th century. Standing before the Montjuic Castle, visitors can not only enjoy views of Barcelona's streets and bay but also feel the weight and depth of history.
