Camp del carrer Muntaner

About

The Camp del Carrer Muntaner (Catalan: Field on the Muntaner street), popularly known as Camp de les Faves, was a football field in the Eixample district of the city of Barcelona, located between the current streets of Paris, London, Casanova and Muntaner, hence its name. It was the fourth playing field of FC Barcelona. In March 1909 it became a velodrome, known as Velòdrom Parc d'Sports, and under that name, it hosted both the first marathon and the first field hockey game in Spain. In 1911, it regained its status as a football field and was rented by RCD Espanyol. It had dimensions of 105 x 65 meters and a capacity for 8,000 spectators.
