MY on: Tibidabo Sunrise & Sunset


TIBIDABO SUNRISE & SUNSET

Tibidabo is a mountain overlooking Barcelona, in the Spanish Region of Catalonia. At 512 meters it is the tallest mountain in the Serra de Collserola. Rising sharply to the north-west, it affords spectacular views over the city and the surrounding coastline.

In the Shillouette is the Torre de Collserola  a uniquely designed tower located on the Tibidabo hill. It was designed by architect Sir Norman Foster, and built in 1991 for the 1992 Summer Olympics. It features a pod for floor space like many towers but uses guy wires for lateral support like a mast. Mainly used as a TV and radio transmitter, this futuristic design provides the highest viewpoint over the city. The top antenna reaches 288.4m (946 ft) and the top of the pod, which has thirteen floors, reaches 152m (499 ft) with the tenth floor of the pod is open to the public.
