Information

Montjuïc Castle

Montjuïc is a hill in Barcelona. Montjuïc is referred to as "Jewish Mountain" in mediaeval Latin and Catalan documents, and remains of a mediaeval Jewish graveyard have been found there.

The eastern side of the hill is almost a sheer cliff, giving it a commanding view over the city's harbour immediately below. The top of the hill (a height of 184,8 m) was the site of several fortifications, the latest of which (the Castle of Montjuïc) remains today. It served as a prison, often holding political prisoners. The castle was also the site of numerous executions ( read more )
