Barcelona - Montjuïc Castle opens to the city this summer Besides
the Centre per la Pau (Peace Centre), Montjuïc Castle will have an area
dedicated to the memory and dignity of those executed by firing squads
It
is now a year since a new Ministerial Order changed the function of
Montjuïc Castle and Barcelona City Council began to work with the
central government on developing new uses for the grounds that would
allow it to become a city amenity.At the Presidency, Territory and Public Function Commission, Presidency Delegate Ignasi Cardelús took stock of the year that has passed since the ministerial order established that the Castle would house a Peace Centre. Mr Cardelús explained that the agreement has allowed the City Council to form the majority in the Consortium that will run Montjuïc Castle, and that the grounds will have other civil uses in addition to housing the Peace Centre, which will be an “international standard bearer". He also pointed out that on 15 June the grounds will open their doors, allowing those who so wish to visit areas in the Castle that have been inaccessible till now, like the Bastion of Santa Amàlia or the castle’s underground rain-water tank. 06-05-2008
