Torre de Collserola
Torre de Collserola Review
The Collserola Tower was designed by Norman Foster for the 1992 Olympics, amid controversy over defacement of the traditional skyline. A vertigo-inducing elevator ride takes you to the observation deck. Take the funicular up to Tibidabo; from Plaza Tibidabo there is free transport to the tower.
