MONTJUÏC CASTLE

Monthuich Castle (Castillox Montjuich). Barcelona Spain & Monthuich Castle: Located at the commanding height of Monthuich Mountain, you can see the whole view of the port and the city. The castle was first built in 1640 but was destroyed by Philip V in 1705. On its ruins was the present Bourbon military fortress. During the War of Independence, it was occupied by Napoleon and served as a prison during the Civil War. Monthuich Castle witnessed many social movements that suppressed Barcelona and Catalonia. The castle is now partially converted into a military museum.

The castle is on Monterey Mountain. Take the bus up the mountain in Catalonia Square. You will pass by the Catalonia Art Palace and the Olympic Park. These two are also must-check in points. The bus terminal is the castle. Free on Sunday afternoon.

Montjuic is a hill in the southwest of central Barcelona, Spain. It overlooks the port. The hill is gentle, but the east side is almost a cliff. The top of the hill is 173 metres high, and there is the Castle of Monte Whitch, which was mainly built in the 17th century.

You can take 150 buses from Spain Square to Montreal Castle, because the castle is located on Montreal Hill. The roof viewing platform of the castle can enjoy the Mediterranean Sea View and Barcelona City Scenery. Ticket price is 5 Euros, if you are under 27 years old, you can buy discount tickets. The castle is not big. It used to be a place for prisoners. Now it's a museum. The most important thing is to have a view of Barcelona. On the way to Montreal Castle, you can also pass through many scenic spots such as the Milo Foundation, the Olympic Square and so on. If the time is very abundant, it is recommended to take the bus up the hill and then slowly walk down the hill, and browse the scenic spots along the way. Many local people also come here for a picnic. The scenery is quite good. Finally, you can enjoy the night view of the music fountain in front of the National Museum of Catalonia at night. Of course, you should pay attention to the crowd in the square to protect your property.

When we get to Barcelona, we must come to this mountain to see it. We chose to take the subway to the Spanish Square and then take the bus from there. Mount Mongconk is not a mountain, but a small hillside. The car came down to the castle. Ticket 5 Euros, a castle can overlook the city's dense buildings, the distant Sacred Family Hall, and the more distant Sacred Heart Temple, as well as the farther mountains and snow peaks. On the other side of the castle you can see the endless Mediterranean Sea and the port of Barcelona. The castle itself is not very beautiful, but the city and the sea are worth seeing.

There are not many visitors to the castle. They don't need an interpreter. They wander around casually, because the castle is on the hill, looking at the sea on one side and the city on the other. Because it is the top of the mountain, the wind is still very strong. There is a lounge next to the central square. There are vending machines to buy drinks and sandwiches. There are no staff. Compared with Paris after that, the prices here are really very cheap. Coffee 1.4 euros, sandwich 1.8 euros, bought a hat 5 euros. We didn't get off by bus because we found that there were sightseeing buses on the hill, so we walked a little downhill. After getting on the sightseeing bus, sitting on the upper floor, looking at the car on the hill turning seven or eight corners, a little scared.

I have visited the surrounding area many times for picnics. The view from the mountain is also very beautiful

After the military fortress of Montconk Castle was changed to prison cable car, walking up and down, you can overlook Barcelona panoramic view around the castle's outer wall to the side facing the sea, overlooking the container terminal, among which there are ships to Shanghai. Is this main port not congested at all?
