Barcelona reinvents itself again in Montjuïc

Barcelona's Montjuïc mountain is undergoing a significant transformation, reminiscent of its evolution since the 1929 International Exposition. This event marked a pivotal moment in the city's modernization, integrating Montjuïc into urban life. Historian David Martínez highlights that the Expo led to lasting urban changes, including the construction of key structures and improved transportation. Once viewed negatively, Montjuïc has shifted to a vibrant cultural and recreational space. As the centenary of the Expo approaches in 2029, Fira de Barcelona is revitalizing the area with new multifunctional spaces and initiatives aimed at redefining Montjuïc's role in the city.
