Montjuïc Castle
Montjuïc Castle is a large military fortress on Montjuïc hill in Barcelona whose core dates from the mid-17th century and whose present form was completed in the late 18th century. It occupies a compact, rectangular plan of thick stone curtain walls, bastions and a central square keep and today functions as a municipal facility and cultural site.

As it stood in 1799
The shape it held in its prime.
A compact late-18th-century hilltop fortress of pale sandstone blocks: broad, straight curtain walls with slit windows and embrasures, angular bastions at the corners, a squat square keep/watchtower with a low crenellated parapet and signal mast, and a classical pedimented gate reached by a three-arched stone bridge over a dry moat. Low rooflines are hidden behind parapets, with continuous rampart walks and arched service galleries along the inner faces, complete and maintained in 1799.
