Montjuic is a very important cultural center in Barcelona. It was completely renovated for the 1992 Olympic games and helped shape what Barcelona looks like today. The Olympic Games put Barcelona on the map and made it a very popular place for tourists. It is the reason many students, such as myself, study here. If it were not for the Games, Barcelona would not have many of the key things it has right now.
For example, the entire Olympic village on top of Montjuic was built for the Games, and is still a popular and important place to visit. The Olympic Stadium and the Palau Sant Jordi are both large stadiums that are still being used to host events today. The Large communication tower on Montjuic helped progress the accessibility of television and radio to the entire city and was vital to the progression of the city into modern times.
Though it was not always a part of Barcelona, the massive construction and renovation on Montjuic of the 1992 Olympics holds an important history in the culture of Barcelona. It was the host location for arguable the most important event that took place in Barcelona, and is extremely important in the Barcelona Culture. It will always be a spotlight in the reason Barcelona became so popular and will remain popular.
