Montjuïc Hill is situated on the Mediterranean Sea, south of the city of Barcelona and is located at an altitude of 200m above sea level. The name "Montjuïc" is translated as "Jewish Mountain", possibly because one of its slopes is an old Jewish cemetery.

Montjuic - is not only a beautiful place, with a wonderful view of Barcelona, ​​it is also a significant historical and cultural point of the city, where there are many interesting attractions and places that deserve attention.

First of all, I would like to mention the fortress of Montjuïc, located at the top of the hill. Once there was a watchtower. In 1652 during the onset of the Spanish troops in Barcelona around the tower just a few weeks built a protective castle. Today, the walls of the fortress is the Military Museum, which presents a collection of weapons, armor and military uniforms.

The descent from the fortress down passes through the territory of green parks and gardens. These gardens are very picturesque, they reveal the wealth of the Mediterranean flora, especially here striking collection of exotic cacti. Walking down the park's walkway, you can get to the Joan Miró Foundation. This two-storey museum, which presents the work of a great artist, sculptor and ceramist Joan Miro.

On the slopes of the hill of Montjuic is a magnificent National Palace, the building which housed the Museum of Art, is also located the Ethnographic Museum and the Museum of Archaeology. There is also an open air museum - "Spanish Village", showing an example of a typical rural life in Spain. Below is the National Palace is the famous color-musical magic fountain built for the opening of the International Exhibition in 1929.
