Jardí Botànic de Barcelona
The Botanical garden of Barcelona (Catalan: Jardí Botànic de Barcelona, IPA: [ʒərˈði βuˈtaniɡ də βərsəˈɫonə]) is a botanical garden in the Montjuïc hill of Barcelona set amongst a number of stadiums used in the Summer Olympic Games of 1992. Although a botanic garden had been established in Barcelona as early as 1888, the current gardens date from 1999. It should not be confused with the Historic botanical garden of Barcelona (Catalan: Jardí Botànic Històric) founded in 1930 and reopened in 2003, also located in Montjuïc.
