On top of the Turó de la Rovira, at about 260 metres, an anti-aircraft battery was installed during the Civil War to defend Barcelona from bombing. After the war, families built shacks on the platforms and lived there until the late 1980s.
The Barcelona History Museum restored the site in 2011, and today it is a 360-degree viewpoint: the sea, the Sagrada Família, Montjuïc, Tibidabo and the whole grid of the city below.
