Camp Nou stadium (Barcelona fortress, stronghold of the Catalans)
Camp Nou, also known as the Barcelona Stadium or the Catalan Fortress, is a football stadium located in the Les Corts area of the city of Barcelona in the Catalonia region of Spain. Camp Nou was constructed between 1954 and 1957. The stadium can accommodate around 99,000 spectators, making it the second-largest stadium in the world in terms of seating capacity and the largest in Europe. It's worth mentioning that Camp Nou was once the largest stadium in terms of capacity, accommodating up to 120,000 people. However, its capacity was reduced in the late 20th century to meet FIFA requirements.
The seating at Camp Nou is divided into various sections, including the main grandstand, former players' box, VIP boxes, and the press area. The stadium also houses the club's museum, which showcases all the championships the team has won throughout its history. Additionally, the stadium features the club's official store. So, when visiting Camp Nou, don't forget to get a shirt with your favorite player's name and number.
