July 26: Castell de Montjuïc 1
Then on to the interior of the Castell.

Just inside the front gate are two tunnels curving up to the left and right, their intersection topped by this excellent brick vault.
3294

The righthand tunnel. Such lovely geometry.
3296

I hiked up the lefthand tunnel.
3299

The front (eastern) walk on the middle level.

Unless my sense of perspective is playing a trick on me, the railing of the platform up these steps looks just high enough to be a trip hazard.

A look down to the front bridge and the convertibus over the trip-off railing.
3302

Turret haunted. No entry.

Incredibly, an even more expansive view of the port than the previous ones was to be had up here.
3307

The southern walk in the strong sun.
3308

The walk dipped down to an intersection on the western side.
3309

Sun's out, guns out.
3312

Looking just a mite rusty.
3318

Hmm, I wonder how the large broken blocks at lower right arrived there.
3324

A showy specimen indeed. Don't know what it is.
3328

Castell cat companions.
3329
![](pix/castell-1/3329.jpg)
A framed view of the Puig d'Ossa, I think, at the southwestern end of the Collserola range. It's visible in previous shots too, if you've been wondering what the tower way to the left of Tibidabo and the TV tower is.
3332

A rather sculptural stair headhouse.

Or maybe it's a bottomless pit headhouse.
