Montjuïc Castle
Description
This 18th-century castle stands on top of Montjuïc Hill. The original structure was built in 1640 during the War of the Segadors to resist Philip IV's forces. It was expanded and improved between 1751 and 1779 to form the present building, which has become a symbol of centralist repression and of the abolition of Catalan liberties. Once a military prison, it's now home to the Museu Militar (Military Museum). You'll find it at the end of the cable-car line where it protects the harbor with its show of arms.
