Castell de Monjuic [Photography Contest Travel Photography & Place]
Uploaded: November 06, 2009 01:41:49
The fortress on a hill (170 meters above the sea level). The name "Monjuic" in a medieval catalan means "Hill of the Jews" or it may come from latin "Mons Jovicus" ,it is "Hill of Jupiter". The fortress dates from 17th century and it served as a prison until the time of general Franco. It was also a place of many executions. You can get to the top of the hill by a funicular railway and then a gondola lift. From the top you have a panoramic view over sea,city,port and mountains. In the whole fortress site there are several large-calibre guns.It is worth walking around all the site.
Barcelona, Spain.
