Pictures Montjuic Castle Barcelona
 Visit Montjuic Castle on "Views of Barcelona" tour Montjuic is a 230 m hill that overlooks Barcelona from the south east of the city centre. At the highest point is Montjuïc fort "Castell de Montjuic." The current fort is mostly from the 18th century and was used both for the defense of Barcelona, but also to keep the Catalans in line during times of oppression. The fort is now only used for exhibitions and events. The grounds of the fort are also used for activities like archery clubs, concerts and outdoor cinema.  The views of Barcelona and the Mediterranean sea are wonderful from Montjuic. They can be enjoyed both from the Montjuïc Fort - Castell de Montjuic, and other viewing points on the hill. To get to the military fort, Castell de Montjuïc, and enjoy panoramic views on the way up, take the Montjuic funicular train from metro station Paralel, then cross the road and get the Teleferic de Montuic cable car that flies you up to the highest point on Montjuic Mountain and to the fort of Castell de Montjuic.
