tourist attractions in Barcelona has a capacity for 55,000 spectators, which can
be increased to 77,000 with the incorporation of temporary terracing. It can stage
sports competitions, musical performances or any type of popular event.
- The best way to reach the Olympic stadium is by
leaving the metro at the "Exposició" exit of the Metro station "Plaça de Espanya",

Taking the escalators to the top of the hill, passing the "Palau Nacional" proceed

can be visited, followed by the splendid esplanade fronting it, with its modern
sculptures and art pieces by Miyawaki and Calatrava, and with its view over Barcelona.
- This construction completed for the 1992 Barcelona
Olympics is a transformation of the old stadium, of which it conserves the façade
designed by the architect Pere Domènech i Roure (the son of the modernist Lluís
Domènech i Montaner), the ornamental frontage by the sculptor Vicenç Navarro,
and the statues over the main entrance by Pau Gargallo. The rest was constructed
following the project resulting from fusing into one the projects submitted to
the international contest by the architect Vittorio Gregotti, on one hand, and
the team formed by Federico Correa, Alfonso Milà, Carles Buixadé and Joan Margarit,
on the other. Richard Weile was the technical supervisor of the plans and the
consultant on matters of sports engineering.
