Barcelona organised the Olympic Summer games in 1992 from 25 July 1992 to 9 August 1992. It is still considered one of the best Olympic games in history. The announcement that Barcelona would stage the 1992 games was made official in Lausanne, at 1.32 pm on a 17 October in 1987 by the then President of the International Olympic Committee, Joan Antoni Samaranch, who happened to be from Catalunya. To commemerate this event, in 2011 Barcelona opened the "Centre d'Estudis Olímpics i de l'Esport Joan Antoni Samaranch," which is an Olympic study centre. The Olympic games in 1992 brought many new and exciting changes to Barcelona and placed Barcelona at the top of the must visit cities of the world. This was not least due to the spectacular Barcelona Olympic diving pool pecially built on Montjuic hill with stunning views of Barcelona and wth the amazing Sagrada Familia church by Gaudi as a backdrop.
