The 17th-century fortress was rebuilt in its current form after Philip V's troops broke the siege of Barcelona in 1714. From its vantage point overlooking the city, the central government was able to impose its will on the unruly populance until the death of Franco.
From here, in 1842, the city was bombed to repress an uprising against the government's policies. In this fortress many Republicans were executed after the Civil War.
However, the new Socialist government ceded formal ownership of the castle to the city of Barcelona in 2004 and approved a law that allows for the pardon of Civil War victims.

From the Castell you have a nice view of Barceloneta and the new harbour. And there are LOTS of cute cats there, too.
