42/50.- Barcelona, Torre Collserola

The tower you can see here is a work of Sir Norman Foster, the British architect. This is Barcelona's main telecommunications antenna. It is more than 300 meters high. There used to be a bar or restaurant at the top, from where you could see a wonderful view of Barcelona, but I think it's closed now.

The antenna is on the Collserola Mountain. The main radio and TV stations broadcast from here to Barcelona and its region. It was built in 1992 (another legacy of the Olympic Games).
