Montjuic Castle
Montjuïc Castle is a historic military fortress with origins dating back to the 17th century. It is situated on Montjuïc Hill in the city of Barcelona in Spain.
In the past, Montjuïc Castle played a significant role during wars that took place in Spain. Later, it transformed from a military museum to an artistic and historical military museum. The castle's doors were closed for renovation in 2007 CE and haven't been reopened since. However, the exterior plaza, known as the "Plaza de las Memorias," is still operational.
