The summit of Barcelona where history, nature and entertainment come together

Tibidabo, the highest part of the city of Barcelona, stands at 575 metres above sea level, offering an incomparable perspective of the city, the Mediterranean Sea and the surrounding hills. This remarkable place combines history, architecture, nature and entertainment, creating an unforgettable journey for all the senses.

The Temple of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

A monumental landmark overlooking Barcelona

The Temple of the Sacred Heart of Jesus dominates the summit. Originally, there was a hermitage built by the Salesians, inaugurated in 1886 during the visit of Saint John Bosco to Barcelona.

The construction of the Expiatory Temple, designed by Enric Sagnier, began in 1902 and was completed in 1961. Its historicist style combines Neo-Gothic, Neo-Romanesque and Neo-Byzantine elements.

A bronze statue of the Sacred Heart crowns the summit, extending its arms over the city. An elevator provides access to the upper terrace, where visitors can enjoy privileged panoramic views of Barcelona, the Mediterranean and the surrounding landscape.

On one side, the original hermitage is still preserved, a testimony to the origins of this extraordinary place.

A Summit with an Incomparable Perspective

Barcelona, the Mediterranean and the surrounding hills at your feet

From the summit of Tibidabo, Barcelona unfolds beneath you in an extraordinary panorama. The combination of the city, the Mediterranean Sea and the surrounding hills creates a unique setting in which architecture and nature come together.

The elevated position of Tibidabo makes it one of the most remarkable viewpoints in Barcelona, offering a perspective that can be enjoyed in every season and at different times of the day.

Tibidabo Amusement Park

More than a century of entertainment overlooking Barcelona

The Tibidabo Amusement Park, inaugurated in 1899, is located next to the temple and covers more than 70,000 m² dedicated to entertainment.

Some of its historic attractions are still operating today, creating a fascinating connection between Barcelona’s past and present. Among them are the Avió, one of the world’s first flight simulators, the Museum of Automata, with more than 40 pieces from the 19th and 20th centuries, and the Talaia, which raises visitors 50 metres above the ground.

Alongside these historic attractions, modern rides such as the roller coaster offer excitement for visitors of all ages, always surrounded by a spectacular landscape.
