 Palau Nacional at Plaça
d'Espanya by JanPeter74
At one end of the square stand 2 square towers. An avenue lined with fountains leads to the stairs of the Palau Nacional, which is home to the Museu d'Art de Catalunya (gothic and medieval art).
Beware of pickpockets in this area, especially during the night, when everybody is admiring the lighted fountains. During the summer months the fountains dance to a sound and lightshow. Leave a Comment Directions: Metro: Espanya

 The state to Spain in the
Plaça d'Espanya by seamandrew
The statue pictured here is located in the center of Plaça d'Espanya's roundabout and it is the statue to Spain. It was commissioned for the 1929 Universal Exposition. The artist who sculpted this (Josep Jujol) also created the brillian serpantine bench in Parc Güell. The statue to Spain was built 15 years earlier when the Primo de River dictatorship in Madrid controlled the design of the artist's monument. Leave a Comment Directions: Metro: Espanya

 Monumental fountain -
Fuente monumental by spanishguy,
4 more photos
La Plaza de España se creó para la Exposición Internacional de 1929 sirviendo como su entrada principal. En el centro de la plaza hay una fuente monumental diseñada por José María Jujol, colaborador de Gaudí. Esta fuente representa ríos españoles y algunos principios como la plenitud, la salud y el heroismo, suponiendo un homenaje a España. Hay un pebetero en lo alto de la fuente donde se enciende una llama en ocasiones por la noche. En la plaza sigue en pie la plaza de toros de Las Arenas, inaugurada en 1900 pero cerrada desde los 70. Actualmente está en obras para poner un centro comercial en ella. Leave a Comment Directions: Metro: Espanya

 Venetian towers in Spain's
Square -Torres venecias by spanishguy, 4 more photos
Las Torres Venecianas en la Plaza de España son conocidas por ese nombre porque representan el campanario de la Catedral de Venecia. Fueron diseñados por Ramón Reventós en 1928 como entrada a la Exposición Internacional de 1929, mientras que ahora forman la entrada de la Feria de Exposiciones de Barcelona. Tienen 47 metros de altura y enmarcan la Avenida de María Cristina. A todo lo largo de ella, como si fuera un pasillo de la Feria, hay una sucesión de pequeñas fuentes y columnas de luz. Desde la entrada al recinto de la Feria hay una espectacular vista de la avenida sirviendo de base al Palacio de Montjuic. Hay diferentes pabellones de la Feria, como los Pabellones de las Comunicaciones y la Metalurgia, en la Plaza de España o los Pabellones de ALfonso XIII y Victoria Eugenia en la plaza del Marqués de Foronda, donde se encuentra la Fuente Mágica.

 Neo-Classical monument in the
centre of the Plaça by mikey_e, 1 more photos
Plaça Espanya is more of a transit point than a tourist stop, as it is the metro station closest to Montjuic and the Fira. Nevertheless, the enormous monument in the centre was quite an architectural scandal when it was first revealed to the world, as it was a neo-classical creation, built at a time when Modernisme ruled supreme in the city. The centre piece of the Plaça, together with the 47m tall twin towers at the start of Avinguda Reina Cristina, was built for the 1929 World's Fair, like many of the other installations on Montjuïc.

Once the city’s gallows place was situated here. Now you will find a big roundabout with a big sculpture and a fountain in the middle.
To the north of the square you have an old bullring and the Joan Miró Park with sculptures.
On the south side of Placa Espanya are two towers made of red brick. They are 47 metres tall and look very much like the Campanile in Piazza San Marco in Venice. They were built for the World Exhibition of 1929. If you walk the street past the campaniles you will come to Montjuic. Leave a Comment Directions: Metro: Espanya, there are also several buslines pasing here.
