17th Feb 2011 Barcelona Day 1 – Montjuic Part 2


South-side of Barcelona – the industrial side and working ports



Castell de Montjuic – The original castle was built in 1640 during the war of Segadors but was expanded between 1751 and 1779. The castle now houses a military museum which contains a good collection of guns, swords and uniforms with some heavy artillery outside in the courtyard. The best feature, however is the views from the top.
