July 26: Castell de Montjuïc 1
Then on to the interior of the Castell.
3293
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.
3300
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.
3301
A look down to the front bridge and the convertibus over the trip-off railing.
3302
Turret haunted. No entry.
3305
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
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.
3333
Or maybe it's a bottomless pit headhouse.
