The site was used for “expressions of self-managed fun by the working class, such as picnics by the many wells (known as fontades) or popular dancing” (Sastre-Juan and Valentines-Álvarez, 2016: 107). The popularity of the area made Montjuïc hill the perfect place to introduce new, more technological modes of fun and entertainment through urbanization and modernization. In addition to introducing technology as a source of entertainment, the urbanization of the hill was also meant to promote the use of electric light. The urbanization of Montjuïc hill was part of the 1929 International Exhibition, which included the modernization of many other sites. One of the most famous engineers in Catalonia, Marian Rubió, and his two sons, Nicolau and Santiago Rubió, oversaw, planned, and executed the urbanization of the hill with the assistance of other engineers and architects. The project included mechanical rides, a funicular railway, pavilions, and an “electric magic fountain” (Ferran and Nieto-Galan 2016: 223). Montjuïc hill would become one of the final pieces of the ‘technological fun belt’. The ‘technological fun belt’ included “the Parc de la Ciutadella in the eastern part of the old city center, the Collserola mountain in the northern part of the new expanded city, and finally the Montjuïc hill in the western part” (Sastre-Juan and Valentines-Álvarez, 2016: 95). The introduction of new technological fun played a key role in the overall urbanization of the city. Montjuïc hill remains a significant artifact today marking the cultural transformation of Barcelona. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
