From the circular Placa de Espanya two Venetian-styled towers mark the approach to Montjuïc. Straight ahead is the Font Màgica designed by Carles Buigas for the 1929World Exhibition, an over-the-top fountain that becomes a dazzling spectacle of lights and music Thursday through Sunday evenings during the summer.
Water cascades into the fountain from terraces before the extravagant Neoclassical Palau Nacional just beyond, built as an exhibition space for the World Exhibition and now home to the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya. MNAC houses the country’s most comprehensive collection of Catalan Romanesque art.
Many of the murals, sculptures, metalwork and wood carvings dating from the 11th to the 13th centuries were spirited away from Romanesque churches in the Pyrenees, where they were replaced by replicas to keep burglars and private purveyors from getting their dirty paws on them. Other salons are devoted to Catalan Gothic artwork and Renaissance paintings.
