The Camp del Carrer Muntaner (Spanish: 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.[1][2][3] It was the fourth playing field of FC Barcelona.[2][4][5]
In March 1909 it became a velodrome, known as Velòdrom Parc d'Sports,[1] and under that name, it hosted both the first marathon and the first field hockey game in Spain.[6] 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.[1]
