The arrival of the Pope brought together an estimated turnout of 180,000 people in various public streets and spaces.

• Catedral: 6,000 people
• Estadi Olímpic: 43,500 people
• Església de Sant Agustí and environs: 1,500 people
• Sagrada Família: 120,000 people around the route and 9,000 people inside the temple and its perimeter.

To ensure the ceremonies went smoothly, over 2,500 municipal barriers were set up in the city to mark the security perimeters and organise the flow of people, particularly in the places with the largest volumes of people.

Some 850 Jersey blocks were also installed at strategic points to reinforce road safety and prevent unauthorised access. A large security perimeter was set up around the Sagrada Família, with more than 3.5 kilometres of barriers of different types.

In terms of mobility, some 1,300 temporary traffic signs were installed to manage disruptions and minimise the impact for the city as a whole. The operation also included dynamic elements such as mobile racks to manage access points, able to adapt to operational needs in real time.

The measures adopted helped to contain the impact on mobility. Tuesday saw a drop in traffic of 7.2% followed by a reduction of 11.3% on Wednesday, 10 June. As for public transport, there were 11% fewer ticket validations on Tuesday, while the drop on Wednesday was 36%.
