Montjuïc (Catalan pronunciation: [muɲʒuˈik]; Spanish spelling Montjuich) is a hill in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.
Montjuïc is translated as "Jew Mountain" in medieval Catalan, or is perhaps related to the Latin phrase Mons Jovicus ('hill of Jove'). A location of the same name is also found in the city of Girona. When written in a Spanish rather than Catalan context it is generally spelled Montjuich (this is old Catalan spelling before the orthographic reforms of Pompeu Fabra).
Barcelona's Montjuïc is a broad shallow hill with a relatively flat top overlooking the harbour, to the southwest of the city centre. The eastern side of the hill is almost a sheer cliff, giving it a commanding view over the city's harbour immediately below. The top of the hill (a height of 184,8 m) was the site of several fortifications, the latest of which (the Castle of Montjuïc) remains today. The fortress largely dates from the 17th century, with 18th-century additions. In 1842, the garrison (loyal to the Madrid government) shelled parts of the city. It served as a prison, often holding political prisoners, until the time of General Franco. The castle was also the site of numerous executions. In 1897, an incident popularly known as Els processos de Montjuïc prompted the execution of anarchist supporters, which then led to a severe repression of the workers' struggle for their rights. On different occasions during the Spanish Civil War, both Nationalists and Republicans were executed there, each at the time when the site was held by their opponents. The Catalan nationalist leader Lluís Companys i Jover was also executed there in 1940, having been extradited to the Franco government by the Nazis.
Parc de Montjuïc is the upper station of the Funicular de Montjuïc, which is operated by Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona (TMB) as part of the Barcelona Metro. The station serves the hill of Montjuïc and the various sporting and other facilities there.
The funicular accepts Autoritat del Transport Metropolità (ATM) tickets, and the station therefore has ticket machines and barriers identical to those of all other Barcelona metro stations. The station has twin platforms, one on each side of the terminal track. Because of the gradient at the upper end of the funicular, the stations platforms are stepped, but disabled access is provided to the upper step of the platform.
The funicular station is adjacent to the lower station of the Montjuïc Cable Car, a gondola lift that continues uphill to a terminal near the Montjuïc Castle on the summit of the hill. Whilst operated by the TMB, the cable car does not accept metro ticketing, and passengers must exit one station before entering the other.
Barcelona (/bɑːrsəˈloʊnə/, Catalan: [bəɾsəˈlonə], Spanish: [barθeˈlona]) is the capital city of the autonomous community of Catalonia in Spain and Spain's second most populated city, with a population of 1.6 million within its administrative limits. Its urban area extends beyond the administrative city limits with a population of around 4.7 million people, being the seventh-most populous urban area in the European Union after Paris, London, Madrid, the Ruhr area, Berlin and Milan. It is the largest metropolis on the Mediterranean Sea, located on the coast between the mouths of the rivers Llobregat and Besòs, and bounded to the west by the Serra de Collserola mountain range, the tallest peak of which is 512 metres (1,680 ft) high.
Founded as a Roman city, in the Middle Ages Barcelona became the capital of the County of Barcelona. After merging with the Kingdom of Aragon, Barcelona continued to be an important city in the Crown of Aragon as an economical and administrative center of this Crown and the capital of the Principality of Catalonia. Besieged several times during its history, Barcelona has a rich cultural heritage and is today an important cultural center and a major tourist destination. Particularly renowned are the architectural works of Antoni Gaudí and Lluís Domènech i Montaner, which have been designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The headquarters of the Union for the Mediterranean is located in Barcelona. The city is known for hosting the 1992 Summer Olympics as well as world-class conferences and expositions and also many international sport tournaments.

Montjuïc, la muntanya odiada de Barcelona [19/11/2013] 75È ANIVERSARI DE L'AFUSELLAMENT DEL PRESIDENT COMPANYS Documentals, pel·lícules i notícies sobre la seva figura "Montjuïc, la muntanya odiada de Barcelona" Dirigit i presentat per Lluís Permanyer. Aquest "Sense ficció" posa al descobert la relació de llunyania i odi que, històricament, Barcelona ha mantingut amb la mítica muntanya, malgrat la seva proximitat física. De la mà de Lluís Permanyer, es descobreix com Montjuïc desperta l'inconscient dels barcelonins en recordar com cada vegada que els ciutadans s'han rebel.lat contra el poder, els canons instal.lats a la muntanya han estat els encarregats de bombardejar-los i el castell els ha empresonat. Lluís Permanyer guia l'espectador en un viatge històric i apassionant en què dóna l...

Después de varios años viviendo en Barcelona, llegó la hora de cambiar de vida y mudarme a Madrid. Pero antes decidí dar un último paseo por la montaña de Montjuïc, mi lugar favorito para desconectar. En primer lugar visitamos la feria de turismo de Barcelona llamada Btravel 2015 para después continuar hasta el Estado Olímpico, el Palau Sant Jordi, la Torre Calatrava y el Parque Olímpico de Barcelona 1992.

Barcelona! After a few days in the Spanish capital, we headed over to Catalunya to see what this popular seaside city has to offer.

Here's a look at what we got up to during our visit to this world class city.

Montjuïc neighborhood film of our series called Barcelona City Guides that feature places to visit, shop and eat to feel like a local. Montjuïc is a mountain with an old military fortress on top (featured in our blog here) with several gardens and parks to get there making it one of our favorite green areas, and also usually one of our favorite photography backgrounds. The most famous building however must be the National Museum, from where you are going to have a wonderful view of our city, and then all the Olympic games stadiums (Barcelona celebrated the games on 1992, quite long ago!). We are not into sports memorabilia, thus we appreciate the mountain to go on a hike or museum hoping.

Barcelona,The Magic Fountain of Montjuïc (Catalan: Font màgica de Montjuïc, Spanish: Fuente mágica de Montjuic) is a fountain located at the head of Avenida Maria Cristina in the Montjuïc neighborhood of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. The fountain is situated below the Palau Nacional on the Montjuïc hill and near the Plaça d'Espanya and Poble Espanyol de Barcelona. The fountain, like most of the surrounding developments, was constructed for the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition. The Magic Fountain was designed by Carles Buigas, who had designed illuminated fountains as early as 1922. The site where the fountain was constructed was the previous location of The Four Columns. The columns, representative of the Catalanism movement, were demolished in 1928 under the rule of Prime Minister ...
