The Barcelona Olympic Park is part of all the attractions found at Montjuic Mountain.
The Olympic Games gave Barcelona many large scale projects. As a result, it became the perfect setting for one of the most successful games in history. Here, you’ll find all the main facilities that were used for the 1992 Olympics Games.
The event that reshaped Barcelona

The most important of these facilities is the Olympic Stadium. Constructed in 1929 for the International Exposition, it was subject of severe renovations in 1989 just in time to host the 1992 Olympics, the event that put Barcelona on the world map.
The Olympic Park features structures such as the Palau Sant Jordi and the sleek Telecommunications Tower, that redefined the Barcelona skyline.
All of them continue to play a pivotal role in the Barcelona of today, making Montjuic one of the city’s most popular attractions.
