About
With the International Exhibition of 1929 and the 1992 Olympic Games, Barcelona's Montjuïc mountain has been the scene of two major events that significantly helped modernize the city, driving both urban transformation and architectural renewal.
Starting from Plaça Espanya we will tour the lower part of the mountain, where, from the early 1900s to the present day, avant-garde and historicising architecture maintain a conversation of contrasts.
The Mies van der Rohe pavilion, one of the most influential buildings in the history of architecture, makes Montjuïc a must-see for any architecture and design enthusiast.
