We will begin our journey on Montjuic, where a sweeping panoramic view of Barcelona provides the perfect introduction to the city’s urban evolution. From this vantage point, the story of Barcelona’s planning unfolds, shaped by major milestones such as the Universal Exhibitions of 1888 and 1929 and the Olympic Games of 1992. These events triggered transformative developments that defined the city’s modern identity. The 1929 International Exposition, in particular, left a remarkable architectural legacy, bringing forward avant-garde ideas like rationalism and inspiring the creation of the iconic Barcelona Pavilion by Mies van der Rohe. Many of the area’s landmarks — the Palau Nacional de Catalunya, the Font Màgica, the Teatre Grec, Poble Espanyol, and the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys — reflect the grandeur of this era and stand today as symbols of Barcelona’s cultural and architectural progression.
