Barcelona initially played in the Camp de la Indústria. The capacity was about 6,000, and club officials deemed the facilities inadequate for a club with growing membership.^[127]
In 1922, the number of supporters had surpassed 20,000 and by lending money to the club, Barça was able to build the larger Camp de Les Corts, which had an initial capacity of 20,000 spectators. After the Spanish Civil War the club started attracting more members and a larger number of spectators at matches. This led to several expansion projects: the grandstand in 1944, the southern stand in 1946, and finally the northern stand in 1950. After the last expansion, Les Corts could hold 60,000 spectators.^[128]
After the construction was complete there was no further room for expansion at Les Corts. Back-to-back La Liga titles in 1948 and 1949 and the signing of in June 1950 of László Kubala, who would later go on to score 196 goals in 256 matches, drew larger crowds to the games.^{[128][129][130]} The club began to make plans for a new stadium.^[128] The building of Camp Nou commenced on 28 March 1954, before a crowd of 60,000 Barça fans. The first stone of the future stadium was laid in place under the auspices of Governor Felipe Acedo Colunga and with the blessing of Archbishop of Barcelona Gregorio Modrego. Construction took three years and ended on 24 September 1957 with a final cost of 288 million pesetas, 336% over budget.^[128]

In 1980, when the stadium was in need of redesign to meet UEFA criteria, the club raised money by offering supporters the opportunity to inscribe their name on the bricks for a small fee. The idea was popular with supporters, and thousands of people paid the fee. Later this became the centre of controversy when media in Madrid picked up reports that one of the stones was inscribed with the name of long-time Real Madrid chairman and Franco supporter Santiago Bernabéu.^{[131][132][133]} In preparation for the 1992 Summer Games two tiers of seating were installed above the previous roofline.^[134] It has a current capacity of 99,354 making it the largest stadium in Europe.
There are also other facilities, which include:^[135]

• Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper (FC Barcelona's training ground)
• Masia-Centre de Formació Oriol Tort (Residence of young players)
• Mini Estadi (Home of the reserve team)
• Palau Blaugrana (FC Barcelona indoor sports arena)
• Palau Blaugrana 2 (Secondary indoor arena of FC Barcelona)
• Pista de Gel (FC Barcelona ice rink)
