Plaça Espanya
The square was built on a site that had been previously used for public hangings, until the creation of the now demolished Ciutadella fortress in 1715, where the gallows were moved. It was designed in 1915 and built in 1929 so that it could be ready to host the 1929 Universal Exposition.
Directions: Take the L1, L3, or L8 subway lines to Plaça Espanya.
Palau Nacional
The Palau Nacional was the main site of the 1929 International Exhibition on the hill of Montjuïc. Since 1934 it has been home to the National Art Museum of Catalonia. The fountain is situated below the Palau Nacional is known as The Magic Fountain of Montjuïc. There are regular light shows held here at night.
Directions: From Plaça Espanya, take Avinguda de la Reina Maria Cristina.
Castell de Montjuïc
Montjuïc Castle is an old military fortress, with roots dating back from 1640, built on top of Montjuïc hill.
Directions: Facing the Palau Nacional, turn left. Pass the park and turn right on Av. dels Montanyans (after the park, not before). This turns into Passeig de Santa Madrona (be sure to take the Passeig de Santa Madrona that is a continuation and not the one that turns left). Turn left on Avinguda Miramar. Arrive at the Funicular de Montjuic and take this to the castle.
Park Guell
Park Güell is a public park system composed of gardens and architectonic elements located on Carmel Hill. With urbanization in mind, Eusebi Güell assigned the design of the park to Antoni Gaudí, a renowned architect and the face of Catalan modernism. The park was built between 1900 and 1914 and was officially opened as a public park in 1926.
Directions: I would advise taking an Uber or a taxi to the park, but if you want to take the subway instead, take the L3 to Vallcara and walk from here. It is a very hilly walk, so be prepared!
