The Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys is an iconic sports venue on Montjuïc. Combining history and contemporary use, it hosts major sporting events, concerts and large festivals. Walking through the stands, with open views across the city and the sea, you are reminded of the 1992 Olympic Games and the energy of thousands gathered for international performances. It holds a sense of space, memory and shared experience. A place where sport, music and collective life come together in a dialogue between what has been and what is still to come.
This is good to know
Few people remember that during the Spanish Civil War the stadium sheltered hundreds of refugees. Between its columns and stands, dormitories, classrooms and washrooms were improvised and everyday life carried on. History left its mark here long before the track and floodlights.
The stadium bears the name of Lluís Companys, President of the Generalitat Government of Catalonia, who was executed by firing squad in 1940. The name is not only a tribute to his memory – it keeps alive a history that sport and city alike refuse to forget
Built for the 1929 International Exhibition and designed by Pere Domènech i Roura, the stadium was later transformed for the 1992 Olympic Games. It retains its historic façade while embracing modern functionality, like an athlete always ready to compete.
