Tibidabo to add a new icon: “Barcelona” in giant letters above the viewpoint

The Parque de Atracciones del Tibidabo is preparing to add a new visual attraction to its panoramic experience: giant letters spelling out the name of the city will be installed at the most iconic viewpoint in the park, offering privileged views over the urban landscape of Barcelona.

The aim is clear: to offer visitors an iconic image that captures the spirit of the city in a single photo from its highest point. The letters, two metres tall and backlit with LED technology, will allow for photos both day and night. They will also be designed as separate pieces, so people can stand between them or interact with the installation to get the perfect shot.

The initiative, conceived by architect Josep Miàs —also the creator of the Cuca de Llum—, is currently in the municipal tender phase. Two of the letters, the C and the O, will literally hang over the void beyond the viewpoint’s railing, enhancing the visual and photographic effect.
