Can Baró is a neighborhood in the Horta-Guinardó district of Barcelona, Catalonia (Spain).
It is home to the Turó de la Rovira Museum of the History of Barcelona (MUHBA) heritage site, where anti-aircraft batteries were stationed during the Spanish Civil War.[2] This heritage location also became a popular destination for crowds to gather at night-time, largely due to the peaceful location and panoramic view of the city.
As of May 2 2023, Barcelona City Council has closed access to the Turó de la Rovira site between 1930 and 0900 hours in the summer, and 1730 and 0900 hours in the winter, due to concerns regarding noise pollution and antisocial behaviour. [3]
