Aside from offering some of the best views of the city, Motjuic was also the site of many of the events of the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. For this reason, it is also home to several of the city’s most important stadiums, including the Palau Sant Jordi that hosted the dream team and the beautiful Estadi Olimpic, which was the main soccer stadium during those games.   

This stadium has actually been around since 1929, when it was built for the Barcelona Universal Exposition.
