On Mount Montjuic, in the so-called "Olympic Ring", the Palace of Sant Jordi (Palau Sant Jordi) is located. Built specifically for the 1992 Olympic Games, it is rightfully considered the pinnacle of modern engineering and construction art. It began to be erected from the roof, lifting it with powerful hydraulic cranes to a height of 25 meters, and only after that walls were erected under the finished roof. The overlapping of the hall outwardly repeats the shape of the Montjuic mountain. Thanks to its excellent acoustics, this hall is now widely used for concerts.
