Urban spaces

Diagonal was one of the four Olympic areas planned for the 25th Olympic Games – the 1992 Barcelona Games – and it the architects Maria Rubert de Ventós and Oriol Clos who were commissioned with this task. Diagonal’s surrounding area was remodelled,to improve it as the gateway to Barcelona, interconnecting communication links with the neighbouring municipalities, and the ring roads recently built at the time, such as the Ronda de Dalt. This area housed the greatest number of useful sports facilities for the Olympic Games, such as Camp Nou and other chosen FC Barcelona facilities, the RCD Espanyol stadium, the Reial Club de Polo and a good number of luxury hotels.
