MONTJUÏC CASTLE

Monthuich Castle (Castillox Montjuich). Barcelona Spain & Monthuich Castle: Located at the commanding height of Monthuich Mountain, you can see the whole view of the port and the city. The castle was first built in 1640 but was destroyed by Philip V in 1705. On its ruins was the present Bourbon military fortress. During the War of Independence, it was occupied by Napoleon and served as a prison during the Civil War. Monthuich Castle witnessed many social movements that suppressed Barcelona and Catalonia. The castle is now partially converted into a military museum.

The castle is on Monterey Mountain. Take the bus up the mountain in Catalonia Square. You will pass by the Catalonia Art Palace and the Olympic Park. These two are also must-check in points. The bus terminal is the castle. Free on Sunday afternoon.

Montjuic is a hill southwest of the center of Barcelona, Spain, overlooking the port, the hill is gentle, but the east side is almost cliffs. The top of the mountain is 173 meters high and there is a castle built mainly in the 17th century.

Take bus 150 to Montjuic Castle in Plaza de España, as the castle is located on Montjuic Mountain, and the castle's rooftop observation deck offers views of the Mediterranean Sea and the city of Barcelona. Tickets cost 5 euros, discount tickets for youth under 27 years old. The castle is not big, it used to be a place to hold prisoners, and now it is a museum. The most important thing is to overlook the entire Barcelona scenery. On the way to Montjuic Castle, you can also pass through the Milo Foundation, Olympic Square and many other attractions. If the time is very abundant, it is recommended to take the bus up the mountain and then walk slowly down the mountain, and visit the attractions along the way. Many locals will also come here to play a walk and picnic, and the scenery is quite good. Finally, you can enjoy the night view of the musical fountain in front of the National Museum of Catalonia at night, and of course pay attention to the crowds in the square to protect their belongings.

When you arrive in Barcelona, you must go to this mountain to see. We chose to take the subway to Plaza de España and then take the bus from there. Montjuic is not a mountain, it can only be regarded as a small hillside. The car is down to the castle. Tickets are 5 euros, and the castle can overlook the dense buildings of the city, the Sagrada Familia in the distance, the Temple of the Sacred Heart in the distance, and the snowcapped mountains further away. On the other side of the castle, you can see the endless Mediterranean Sea and the port of Barcelona. The castle itself is nothing to see, but the city and sea views are worth seeing.

There are not many tourists in the castle, no need to explain, walk around casually, because the castle is on the mountain, while watching the sea, while watching the city. Because it is the top of the mountain, the wind is still very strong. There is a lounge next to the central square, there are vending machines to buy drinks and sandwiches, no staff. Compared with the subsequent Paris, the prices here are really cheap. Coffee 1.4 Europe, sandwich 1.8 Europe, bought a hat for 5 euros. We didn't get off by bus, because we found that there were sightseeing cars on the mountain, and we went a little downhill. After getting on the sightseeing bus, sitting on the upper floor, watching the car turn around the mountain, a little afraid.

I have visited the surrounding area many times for picnics. The view from the mountain is also very beautiful

Montjuic Castle Military Fortress was changed to a prison Cable car up and down, overlooking the panoramic view of barcelona, around the exterior wall of the castle to the side facing the sea, overlooking the container terminal, there are ships to Shanghai. Is this the main port?
