Top of Barcelona

The top of Tibidabo is crowned by the cathedral del Sagrat Cor. This church has been constructed between 1902 and 1960 in a mixture of modernista and neogothic styles. Admission is free and you are rewarded with picturesque stained windows and beautiful stone work.

For 2 Euros an elevators takes you to the first viewing platform. If you are not afraid of heights, keep on climbing the stairs up to the bronze statue of Jesus Christ on the very top for an unforgettable view of Barcelona and beyond.

On the way up the mountain you have already passed the Tibidabo Amusement Park. Being built in 1889 it still managed to conserve the old-days charme.

Although there are some fairly thrilling rides as well, the main attraction is the setting of the park itself just above Barcelona and the Mediterranean Sea. This fame was still increased by being used as a filming spot in international movies like Vicky Christina Barcelona.

The third notable landmark on the top of Tibidabo is probably the most disputed. 288 meter Torre Collserola Television Tower was built for the transmission of the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.

Torre Collserola by Norman Foster

Although designed by Sir Norman Foster its beauty is outchallenged by its counterpart on Montjuic, Torre Telefonica. For those who would like to see Tibidabo from a different angle, the tenth floor of the pod at about 140 meters is open to the public.

Tibidabo Cathedral of the Sacred Heart

The Tibidabo Cathedral del Sagrat Cor looks down on Barcelona from the city’s tallest peak, Mount Tibidabo.

In this spectacular location, it can be seen from all over the city. Especially when you are walking up Rambla Catalunya or Passeig de Gracia, you will always find Tibidabo Cathedral on the horizon.

Tibidabo cathedral has been designed by architect Enric Sagnier i Villavecchia. Construction started in 1902 and was finally completed by the architect’s son Josep Maria Sagnier i Vidal in 1961.

The architectural style of Tibidabo Cathedral can be described as a mixture of modernista and neogothic. To many people it shows similarity to the basilica de Sacre-Coeur in Paris or the Sacro Cuore di Gesu in Rome.

When you are approaching the cathedral from the Tibidabo funicular station, you are entering at the level of the crypt. Admission is free and you are rewarded with picturesque stained windows and beautiful stone work.

For 2 Euros an elevators takes you to the first viewing platform. The Jesus Christ bronze statue above your head resembles of Rio de Janeiro’s Christ statue of Corcovado.

If you are not afraid of heights, keep on climbing the stairs to the top of Tibidabo cathedral at 548 meters above sea for an unforgettable view of Barcelona and beyond.

Mount Tibidabo – the famous landmark of Barcelona: history, interesting facts

Mount Tibidabo rises to more than 500 meters and is the highest point in Barcelona, and on its top is one of the most beautiful temples in Spain – the Sacred Heart, famous for the towering statue of Jesus Christ, embracing the whole world. This attraction attracts numerous crowds of travelers every year. A visit to the mountain and the park located around it is included in most excursion tours. It is worth noting that the picturesque panorama that opens on Barcelona often leads tourists into dumb shock, it is so beautiful and unique.

History of the landmark

The very name Tibidabo is translated from Latin as “I give you” and is a word taken from the Gospel. According to legend, the devil wanted to seduce Jesus by climbing to the top and demonstrating the beauty surrounding the mountain and his unlimited power. All the temptations that the devil subjected Jesus to, including visiting the famous mountain, are set out in the Holy Scriptures.

However, the idea of creating a temple on the top appeared much later than the biblical events described. In 1886, a small chapel was erected there, to which, over time, several pavilions and an observation deck were attached. In addition, it was planned to build a hotel, a casino and even an observatory on this site, which, by the way, was nevertheless built, but on the neighboring hills. And the first stone of the Temple of the Sacred Heart was laid in 1902 year. For more than 100 years of history, the building has been reconstructed more than once, and acquired the official status of the temple after the consecration in 1961. Today, all buildings are open to the public at any time of the year; art exhibitions, holidays and various festivals are held here.

Information for tourists

Visiting the temple and the park complex is paid separately. You can go up to a special viewing platform of the statue of Christ or look around the area one floor below, which will cost much less.

In addition to the temple, the Tibidabo complex is home to the Romantic Gardens, the first amusement park in Spain, a television tower, and the Mechanical Toy Museum, which exhibits units made during the discovery of electricity. In addition to the Ferris wheel and old-fashioned carousels, the park is famous for its Kru’eger Hotel El Terror, an abandoned hotel that allegedly contains ghosts and has an instructive model of hell, which depicts sinners tormented by demons in fiery hell. Also, tourists will be able to get acquainted with the most interesting exposition of the museum of robots, which stores the most modern robotics.

A ten-minute walk from the temple is one of the highest television towers 268 meters high, built by the talented English architect Foster in 1992, just before the opening of the Olympic Games. The tower is equipped with a comfortable observation deck, from which you can also enjoy magnificent views of Barcelona and the coast of Catalonia.

How to get there

If you decide to visit Barcelona by purchasing an excursion tour, then, most likely, a comfortable bus will deliver you to Mount Tibidabo. And for those who travel on their own, a wide range of different options come off: Montjuic mountain from a traditional taxi and a special bus to the metro or tram.

One of the most convenient ways to move around major cities is, of course, the metro. It is also in Barcelona. To get to

Tibidabo, take the orange line and get off at Avinguda del Tibidabo station. When exiting the metro, tourists will immediately see a tram stop and the line of the so-called “Blue Tram”, which has been operating in the city since 1911. A ride on such an old transport will cost 4 euros per person. Of course, this is not cheap, but such a trip allows you to fully enjoy the atmosphere of the historical part of Barcelona. If you don’t feel like driving, you can go for a walk. In this case, the road will take about 15 minutes and will lead you to the funicular, which takes tourists to the mountain.
