History and setting
The circular building went up in 1929 as the Science Pavilion for the Barcelona International Exposition. In the 1960s it housed the Damm brewery hall and belonged to the Montjuïc amusement park, which closed in 1998. The park became the Joan Brossa Gardens, opened in 2003. Architect Joaquim Matutano Ros led the rehabilitation from 2004 to 2008 and kept the original volume. The structure rests on twelve concrete pillars with a pyramidal dome that spans 18 meters.
