 Montjuic by Belsaita
It seems that the Exhibition’s organizers felt that it needed something special to attract people’s attention and to distinguish their Exhibition above others. Carles Buigas submitted his project for a “colossal, daring and costly piece of work”. The project was so unexpected and stunning that it was even branded by some as madness. But even most amazing is how fast they could build it: In less than a year (more than 3,000 workers involved!)
Technically is an amazing engineer and physics project, apart of its beautiful results as artwork. Buigas discovered that the light should be concentrated so as to avoid larger beams obscuring smaller ones. Light would no longer be used only to illuminate the night, but rather to embellish it too.
Part of the cascades and fountains were removed after the Exhibition, but we still can enjoy its major works of water, light and color: to the four cascades and the large jet.

The best thing is to see it when it's dark , when they light it up and there is the music show. It's really a magic place, with the palace at the background ant all the other fountains too.

 Magic Fountain and Montjuic
Palace - Fuente Mágica by spanishguy, 4 more photos
Hay una fuente al final de la avenida de María Cristina, justo en frente de las escaleras del Palacio de Montjuic. Fue construida para la Exposición Internacional de 1929 y es una parada relajante tras todo el día paseando por la ciudad. Cuando la noche está cayendo la fuente comienza su actividad de luces y música, con el agua bailando al ritmo de Verdi, Strauss, Mozart...

The fountains were first opened as part of the Great Universal Exhibition in May 19th. 1929. three thousand workers worked for one year on this project. Add the elements , colour, light, motion, water acrobatics and music together and you get a very magical experience. Truely uplifting and sustinance for the soul.

 The fountains leave many in
awe! by seamandrewLeave a Comment Phone: 93 426 53 86Directions: Monjuïc district. Metro 'Espanya'Website: http://www.mnac.es Other Contact: mnac@mnac.es

This is a free show not to be missed!
In Winter this fountain only works on Fri/Sat-nights (from 19.00), so put it on your itinerary. In Summer you have more chances of seeing this water-spectacle.
Colors change, shapes change, some incredible opera music gets played along and this whole hour will definitely go down as Magic. I loved it! Directions: Between Palau National and Plaça d'Espanya. Metro: Line 1 and 3, Plaça EspanyaWebsite: www.bcn.es/turisme ('the fountains of Montjuíc')

 The Magic Fountain by bacino
It is difficult to put into words the effect the water makes in combination with color, light and sound, but the result is always the same: a large crowd cheering and applauding - to a fountain.
I recommend it to everyone, young or old, it's a must see!
