Abandoned Places In Barcelona – A Guide For The Fearless

Barcelona isn’t just about sunny beaches, colorful buildings, or delicious tapas. There are places hidden behind its lively streets that are much darker and reveal the mysterious side of the city. Some of these places may look normal during the day but turn spooky when the sun goes down.

Be it the absence of humans, or crumbing walls, there’s something about these abandoned places that makes your skin crawl. You can best explore them through private tours in Barcelona that take you on a thrilling adventure you will remember for life.

Salvana Tower

Located in Santa Coloma de Cervello, this castle is over 1,000 years old and was used as a defensive tower for the noble Cervello family. But today, it is in ruins and referred to as the “Castle of Hell,” mainly because of the eerie vibes you feel here, especially at night.

Aquatic Paradise Sitges

Located just outside Barcelona in Sitges, Aquatic Paradise is an abandoned water park with a tragic past. According to stories, the park shut down after a child died because of the pool motors failing. Though the park is no longer operational, the graffiti-covered walls along the pool give an eerie vibe.

Casino de l’Arrabassada

Established in 1899, Casino de l’Arrabassada is located near the hills of Barcelona and was rumored to have a suicide room for gamblers who lost everything. After gambling was banned in 1912, the casino fell into ruin and later became a site of executions during the Spanish Civil War.

Hotel Colonia Puig

Originally built to house pilgrims who visited Montserrat, this hotel became a makeshift hospital during the Civil War. Known as the “Blood Hospital,” it was later turned into a venue for events but shut down in the 1990s. Today, it stands alone decaying, and attracts explorers who are brave enough to explore behind the walls.

If bravery runs in your blood and you love to go to spooky places, you should include these in your Barcelona list. These locations are not just abandoned buildings, but they give you a glimpse into Barcelona’s haunted past.
