Área Olímpica

The Montjuic Mountain was the focal point for the Olympic Games in 1992. The area, called The Olympic Ring, showcases the massive 77,000-seat Olympic stadium, now home to Espanyol F.C, the local arch-rivals to Barcelona. There is a small exhibition within the stadium which has some fun memorabilia and photos from the Olympic Games. The Palau Sant Jordi was also constructed for the Olympics. The huge, domed-roof building, designed by the Japanese architect, Arata Isozaki, currently hosts some of the best concerts in town.
