Mies van der Rohe Pavilion

It’s Official: These Are The Most Beautiful Outdoor Cinemas In Europe

Not the most comfortable and with sound systems that can be bettered elsewhere, this architectural gem still offers film screenings that few other open-air cinemas can compete with. Designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich as the German pavilion for Barcelona’s International Exhibition in 1929, it was demolished a year later and then rebuilt in 1986 in Montjuïc, its original location. For the past few years it has hosted Pantalla Pavelló, runs of films related to architecture that are projected on its travertine marble wall and watched by audiences dotted around the pond, creating a truly magical atmosphere. - Liv Kelly
