Nou Camp architect dies
Afp, Madrid
Francesc Mitjans, the architect who designed FC Barcelona's famed Nou Camp stadium, has died Monday at the age of 97 years. Born in Barcelona in 1909, Mitjans was one of the key figures in the revival of Catalan architecture in the 1950s. The Nou Camp, Catalan for "New Field", was inaugurated in 1957. It is one of the largest stadia in the world and biggest in Europe with the capacity to hold 98,772 spectators.
