Comments
Tibidabo is a hill overlooking the city of Barcelona, Spain. At 512 metres, it is the tallest hill in the Collserola Ridge.
The Tibidabo Funicular is a funicular railway inaugurated in 1901 that connects the city of Barcelona with the summit of the hill, which is occupied by three buildings:
- Expiatory Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, a work by the Spanish architects Enric Sagnier and his son Josep Maria Sagnier i Vidal, whose construction lasted from 1902 to 1961.
- Tibidabo Amusement Park, built in 1899 by the entrepreneur Salvador Andreu and opened in 1905.
- Collserola Tower, a telecommunications tower designed by the English architect Norman Foster and by the Spanish civil engineers Julio Martínez Calzón and Manuel Julià Vilardell, built in 1991.
The Expiatory Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is mentioned on another medal N# 396384
