With Montju\u00efc Castle, beautiful gardens, and the impressive National Museum of Art of Catalonia, Montju\u00efc is a not-so-hidden gem in Barcelona for locals and tourists alike. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This magical mountain \u2014 located near the city\u2019s Poble Sec and Sants-Montju\u00efc neighborhoods \u2014 was the birthplace of Barcelona according to a legend, but its name actually means \u201cJewish Mountain.\u201d In the Middle Ages, it was used as a cemetery so Jews could be buried outside the Christian city\u2019s walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While visitors flock to the mountain to see the castle, ride the cable car, and watch the music and light shows at the Magic Fountain (currently suspended due to a water emergency), there are many hidden gems to find as you explore Montju\u00efc.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n
