Since 1899
Tibidabo is the second-oldest amusement park in Europe and one of the oldest in the world. It was constructed in 1899 by the Societat Anònima El Tibidabo, a company promoting the urbanisation of the mountain, the creation of a tram line, a funicular railway –the first in Spain– and an amusement park in 1901.
Barcelona residents were enthusiastic about the project; for the first time, they were able to get to the top of the city easily and comfortably, and enjoy some exceptional and practically unknown views. Although the first visitors were mostly from the upper classes, the amusement park gradually became popular with the other classes too, with the appearance of its first attractions, events and shows, as well as cafés and restaurants.
