Amy Musgrave, Benjamin Fraser Camille Kresz 02/06/2017 English, Spanish Document Montjuïc and Tibidabo The city of Barcelona has mountains on two of its sides. The mountains are Montjuïc and the peak of the Collserola range, Tibidabo. Montjuïc is a broad, shallow hill with a nearly flat top. It is believed that its name comes from the words for “hill of Jupiter” (Hughes 2004: 33). Montjuïc was used for agriculture and animal grazing throughout history. The eastern side of the hill has a very sharp drop off from which the entire harbor can be seen. Robert Hughes described Montjuïc in his work Barcelona: The Great Enchantress as “the vantage point from which the whole plain of Barcelona could be seen spreading below” (2004: 4). Throughout history Montjuïc has been home to many fortifications. Currently the Castle of Montjuïc still stands. The military fortress dates back to 1640, but it is currently serving as a civic facility for Barcelona. It has seen many battles, but the government of Barcelona now hopes it can serve as a place for the people to go for cultural activities. Tibidabo is the tallest mountain in the Collserolla mountain range, which also overlooks Barcelona. It is home to The Sacred Heart atop Tibidabo, the first expiatory temple constructed in Barcelona. The idea behind the expiatory temple is that people from all over, and from all backgrounds, can come and confess their sins. It was placed atop the mountain to draw attention and “was clearly meant to impress onlookers near and far” (Sobrer 2002: 206). It was constructed on the Tibidabo so that it could be seen from all angles. The hope was that it would impress onlookers and encourage people to come and repent.  Item changed by user 26 at 2017-02-06 18:09:46.Created manually by user
