Arrive by foot, subway, funicular, bus, car...
Montjuïc is, together with the Tibidabo, one of the mountains of the city of Barcelona where you can find an old fort (18th century) at 170 meters above sea level. Until recently it housed a military museum, closing soon after 47 years. Part of the pieces will be transferred to Sant Ferrán Castle in Figueres. The building will be adapted as the headquarters of the International Center for Peace.
To get there you have different options: walking, subway, funicular, bus, car, bike... But I recommend walking. This mountain has different pathways to climb to the castle and go through a very little known part of Barcelona.
The first obligatory stop is the Miramar esplanade, where there is a viewpoint on the harbor. A building that used to house the first offices of TVE (Spanish national television) dominates the area. One can walk in some very beautiful gardens. You also have sculptures like Josep Clarà's La Fertilitat and Pau Gargallo's La Pomona. You'll follow the route in the direction of the viewpoint of the Alcalde where you have a different panoramic view of the harbor of Barcelona. The ground of this viewpoint is a "collage" of ceramics and pieces of bottle glass. A few meters away you will find Montjuïc castle. The main attraction is the beautiful views it has of the city and the harbor. To enjoy them I recommend entering the castle and go up until the terraces.
