'''Tibidabo''' ({{IPA|ca|tiβiˈðaβu}}) is a hill overlooking Barcelona, [[Catalonia]], Spain. At {{convert|512|m}}, it is the tallest hill in the [[Serra de Collserola]].  Rising sharply to the north-west, it has views over the city and the surrounding coastline.<ref>[http://www.panoramas.dk/fullscreen/fullscreen33.html Panoramic QTVR view from Tibidabo]</ref>

The summit of the hill is occupied by the [[Temple Expiatori del Sagrat Cor|Sagrat Cor church]] and adjacent [[Tibidabo Amusement Park]]. The [[Torre de Collserola|Torre de Collserola telecommunications tower]] is a short walk away. All three are prominently visible from most of the city of Barcelona. Designed by [[Enric Sagnier]], the church was started in 1902 and took 60 years to complete. It is topped by a sculpture of the [[Sacred Heart of Jesus]] by [[Josep Miret Llopart]].

Tibidabo can be reached by road or via the [[Tibidabo Funicular]], which was the first of its kind in Spain, and by the [[Tramvia Blau]]. Funicular operations recommenced in June 2021 after modernisation, however the tramway remains out of service.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.tmb.cat/en/about-tmb/transport-tmb/tramvia-blau-tibidabo|title=Tramvia Blau – Vintage Barcelona tram {{!}} Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona|website=tmb.cat|access-date=2019-01-28}}</ref> Replacement bus TC2 connects Tibidabo with Avinguda de Tibidabo Metro station. The [[Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona]] minibus service 111 connects it to [[Vallvidrera|Vallvidrera village]] and the upper station of the [[Vallvidrera funicular]].<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.tmb.cat/en/linia-de-bus/-/bus/111/detall-n/sentit-Vallvidrera/dia-FEINER | title = Number 111 – Tibidabo | publisher = Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona | accessdate = 2014-11-26}}</ref>

==Origin of the name==
[[File:(Barcelona) El Tibidabo, l'observatori Fabra - exposició sud-est.jpg|thumb|Overall view of the church and amusement park]]The name derives from the [[Latin language|Latin]] [[Vulgate]] Bible verses:{{Citation needed|date=December 2021}}
* ''"…et dixit illi haec '''tibi''' omnia '''dabo''' si cadens adoraveris me"''<ref>[http://www.drbo.org/lvb/chapter/47004.htm Latin Vulgate Bible, Gospel According to Saint Matthew Chapter 4<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> – "And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me" ([[Gospel of Matthew|Matthew]] 4:9);
* ''"…et ait ei '''tibi dabo''' potestatem hanc universam et gloriam illorum quia mihi tradita sunt et cui volo do illa"''<ref>[http://www.drbo.org/lvb/chapter/49004.htm Latin Vulgate Bible, Gospel According to Saint Luke Chapter 4<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> – "All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it" ([[Gospel of Luke|Luke]] 4:6).

This phrase, meaning ''I will give to you'', was said to Jesus by the [[devil]] as they looked down from an ''exceedingly high mountain'' upon ''all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them''. The name of Barcelona's hill thus refers to the popular tradition that it was in fact the ''exceedingly high mountain'' itself. The phrase ''Tibi dabo'' forms part of the inscription in the central dome of [[St. Peter's Basilica]] in Vatican City, although in that case it was drawn from Jesus' words to [[St. Peter]] in Matthew 16:19.
