Montjuïc, also known as the "Mountain of the Jews", rises to a height of 173m and stands between the mouths of the Besòs and Llobregat rivers. This hill was completely transformed as a result of the 1929 Universal Exhibition, when its slopes became gardens (a project headed by prestigious French gardener Forestier, alongside Nicolau Rubió i Tuduri) and a number of large buildings, subsequently restored for the 1992 Olympic Games, were erected.
