Montjuic, called Hill of the Jews after a Jewish necropolis there, gained fame in 1929 as the site of the World's Fair and again in 1992 as the location for the summer Olympic Games. It's main attractions are the Olympic installations, the Spanish Village and the hilltop fortress.
This is the olympic stadium and home to Barcelona's other football team, Espanyol.
